Details

Description:

In the build() function, simply using the line

PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2

did not make the variable visible to the configure script. It did set python to /usr/bin/python

and if it points to python3 will make the build fail.

To fix the problem,

I have added the keyword 'export'

export PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2

or possibly prepending the variable definition on the same line than calling autogen could possibly work as well. Not tested...

PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2 ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr \
--enable-xinput \
--enable-xkb \
--disable-static

Additional info:
* package version(s) 1.9-2

Steps to reproduce:

Try to build libxcb in an environment where python2 and python3 are installed.
This task depends upon
