I am trying to build the pip package for a certain 2.x version detailed here.

After running:

bazel build --config=dbg //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package --verbose_failures

I get the following message:

error executing shell command:
/bin/bash -c bazel-out/k8fafe98f9cd48032f8d6a9732902b210aba3b30f85849d3455fe9d9fb327/bin/tensorflow/tools/git/gen_git_source --generate "$@" --git_tag_led (Exit 127): bash failed: error executing command

    Execution platform: @local_execution_config_platform//:platform
    /usr/bin/env: 'python': No such file or directory

and indeed version_info.cc is not generated... the basel version is 3.1.0

Does anyone have any ideas?

CodePudding user response：

It could be either because python is not installed, or it is not linked to /usr/bin/python. The latter can be fixed by sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python.
