I am trying to build an embedded image where some kernel scripts are in python 2.
The project is abl/tianocore/edk2
It is part of kernel 5.15, it contains some scripts inside Tests folder
In the layer.conf for that layer The tools are listed like this
# Tools needed on the build host for usage within build tasks by recipes of this layer.
HOSTTOOLS_NONFATAL += "xgettext msgmerge msgfmt gmsgfmt java zip python python2 flex bison"
The make file for Tests folder contains this line
@python RunTests.py
When I execute the make file from command line no errors are thrown
But when I try to build the image using bitbake.
I get syntax errors because the scripts are in python 2 and it is using python3 to compile them
In the make file if I replace
@python RunTests.py
with
@/usr/bin/python RunTests.py
There is no error thrown as it uses the correct python but I can't do this for all make files.
How do I make yocto/poky pick the correct python
