From 8b427c851e6e0979c598b95d2c04d5deab10352d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gilles Peskine Date: Tue, 13 Jul 2021 18:14:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Use python3 when building on non-Windows for Windows The makefiles look for python3 on Unix-like systems where python is often Python 2. This uses sh code so it doesn't work on Windows. On Windows, the makefiles just assume that python is Python 3. The code was incorrectly deciding not to try python3 based on WINDOWS_BUILD, which indicates that the build is *for* Windows. Switch to checking WINDOWS, which indicates that the build is *on* Windows.
