cmake finds wrong python libs

Question

I\'m new to CMake and have trouble understanding some usage concepts.

I\'m calling a python script from a c++ program:

#include 
...
Py_I         


        

Answer 1

The best way to solve the problem that the wrong version is found (for instance 3.0 instead of 2.7) is to specify the minimum version to find_package (this will choose any version >= 2.7):

FIND_PACKAGE(PythonLibs 2.7 REQUIRED)

or to get the exact version:

FIND_PACKAGE(PythonLibs 2.7.5 EXACT REQUIRED)
