I tried to recompile webots python API for Python 3.6 64 bit as I need that version for TensorFlow. I followed steps and tried compiling using both MSYS2 and Windows PowerShell. The compilations complains that files are not found although they exist in that place.

webots library path

Here is the makefile script. (I am not really good at regular expressions but I guess it is setting the path to the one I showed in the image above)

Result on MSYS2 and PowerShell: enter image description here

I believe there is something wrong with script but I hope you can guide me to fix it with your able hands. Thanks and wishing you a great day.

P.S: I also hope if someone could assist me to force specific version of python when compiling it.

I believe this problem is fixed in this PR: https://github.com/omichel/webots/pull/108

The problem was a wrong use of a space escaped variable in the Makefile, the quotes should be removed around $(WEBOTS_HOME_PATH) paths.
