[issue26662] configure/Makefile doesn't check if "python" command works, needed to build Objects/typeslots.inc

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

Victor: Gnu Make has a special “.DELETE_ON_ERROR” target that will cause Objects/typeslots.inc to be removed if the “python” command fails, which is slightly better than truncating it. See delete-on-error.patch. It looks like you were not using Gnu Make, but maybe there is an equivalent for BSD’s Make.

Chi: Yes I think “make touch” may help you work around the problem. It should be safe to try anyway :)
