When installing Tahoe from source, I overlooked the install.html mention that I needed python dev headers.

I ran make check-dep which succeeded (it gave no output and had a zero exit status, which I assume is success).

-but when I run "make" the build fails. Could check-deps tell me Python.h is missing?

Does the build fail in a way that clearly indicates that you are missing Python.h?

It isn't convenient for either Python or GNU make code to check for a header file. The best way to do it is "try it and see", or use the autoconf approach, which actually embeds a little C program inside itself and attempts to compile that program to see if it works.

tahoe-lafs changed title from ~~make check-deps does not detect missing Python.h.~~ to "make check-deps" does not detect missing Python.h.

We don't really use make check-deps anymore, and I don't know how to fix this, so closing it as wontfix.
