v3.2.x - installing rlm_python3 attempts to install rlm_python

[Dave Macias]

Hello Everyone,

Happy Monday

Trying to understand how to install FR with rlm_python3 module.

Using python:3.9-alpine docker image, when I run the below configure:

./configure \
 --build=$CBUILD \
--host=$CHOST \
--prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
...
...
--disable-developer
--with-pcre \
--with-rlm_python3 \
--with-rlm-python3-config-bin=/usr/local/bin/python3-config

During the `make` process, i get a lot of errors for rlm_python. Im
assuming because it's trying to use python2 but not sure really. (see
output here: https://pastebin.com/raw/eRFQnKb0) I dont see any indication
that rlm_python3 is being built or even in `make install` that it was
installed BUT when i look at the lib files i see it. Along with python

bash-5.1# ls -al /usr/lib/freeradius/rlm_python*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        132732 Jul 18 14:44
/usr/lib/freeradius/rlm_python.a
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            20 Jul 18 14:44
/usr/lib/freeradius/rlm_python.la
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        112920 Jul 18 14:44
/usr/lib/freeradius/rlm_python.so
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        140028 Jul 18 14:14
/usr/lib/freeradius/rlm_python3.a
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            20 Jul 18 14:14
/usr/lib/freeradius/rlm_python3.la
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        120328 Jul 18 14:14
/usr/lib/freeradius/rlm_python3.so

Using the --without-rlm_python option just doesnt install it at all...

I've also tried within src/modules/rlm_python3 directory but get some
interesting output below:

bash-5.1# ./configure
--with-rlm-python3-config-bin=/usr/local/bin/python3-config
...
checking for python... /usr/local/bin/python
checking for python version... 3.9

configure: /usr/local/bin/python3-config 's ldflags were "}"

...

So honestly at a loss... attempted what had been suggested here but get the
same m4_include() output as the last post says.

How can I install rlm_python3 ?

Any input is much appreciated.
