Calling make from Python on Windows results in Makefile error

I need to call make build from Python script on Windows.
Since make is not available by default on Windows, I've installed GnuWin32 edition. To limit variances the only command under build is pwd
Running in cmd is OK and would print current dir. Running from Python as:
import subprocess
subprocess.run(['make', 'build'])
would result in the error:
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, pwd, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
make: *** [build] Error 2

Resolved by adding C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64 to the path

Unable to build SWIG.exe using MinGw

I am trying to install 'pocketsphinx' module in python which requires swig.exe. After a lot of searching I followed the steps mentioned in the swig site(http://www.swig.org/Doc3.0/Windows.html#Windows_swig_exe) to build an exe. But I am stuck at the last 2 steps.
When './autogen.sh' is executed, I get the following error message although the file 'aclocal' is present in the '/mingw/bin' directory.
vinay#DESKTOP-7LB2J5M /usr/src/swig
$ ./autogen.sh
+ test -d Tools/config
+ aclocal -I Tools/config
./autogen.sh: /mingw/bin/aclocal: No such file or directory
I renamed c:\MinGW\msys\1.0\etc\fstab.sample to c:\MinGW\msys\1.0\etc\fstab and also installed automake, libtool, autoconf, aclocal, autoheader dependencies from MinGW installation manager. What am I missing?
I am not familiar with MinGw or unix commands.

PyQt5 error during "python3 configure.py": fatal error: 'qgeolocation.h' file not found

MAC OSX 10.9, Python 3.5, sip-4.17, PyQt-gpl-5.5.1, Qt5.5.1
Hi,
trying to build PyQt on my system I did the following steps:
download/install Qt5.5.1 libraries
download/unpack SIP
download/unpack PyQt
install SIP:
python3 configure.py -d /Library/Python/3.5/site-packages --arch x86_64
make
sudo make install
tried to install PyQt:
python3 configure.py -d /Library/Python/3.5/site-packages
--qmake /.../Qt5.5.1/5.5/clang_64/bin/qmake
Configuration stopped with:
/Users/werner/OpenSource/PyQt/sip/QtPositioning/qgeolocation.sip:28:10:
fatal >error: 'qgeolocation.h' file not found
#include <qgeolocation.h>
^
1 error generated.
make[1]: *** [sipQtPositioningcmodule.o] Error 1
make: *** [sub-QtPositioning-make_first-ordered] Error 2
I tried to finish installation doing
make
sudo make install
anyway. But the installation doesn't seem to be complete (e.g. uic, pyuic5 are missing). Here is what my installation directory looks like:
>ls /Library/Python/3.5/site-packages/PyQt5
QtBluetooth.so QtSensors.so
QtCore.so QtSerialPort.so
QtDBus.so QtSql.so
QtDesigner.so QtSvg.so
QtGui.so QtTest.so
QtHelp.so QtWebKit.so
QtMacExtras.so QtWebKitWidgets.so
QtMultimedia.so QtWidgets.so
QtMultimediaWidgets.so QtXml.so
QtNetwork.so QtXmlPatterns.so
QtOpenGL.so _QOpenGLFunctions_2_0.so
QtPrintSupport.so _QOpenGLFunctions_2_1.so
QtQml.so _QOpenGLFunctions_4_1_Core.so
QtQuick.so
I couldn't find any useful information when searching for other discussions, so I hope someone can give me a hint on what I'm (maybe stupidly) doing wrong. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

If you don't need this module, the better way to solve that is disabling it on configure.
python configure.py --disable=QtPositioning

Just yesterday, I also met such a problem. And this is what I do to solve it:
Create a header file qgeolocation.h in /PyQt-gpl-5.5.1/QtPositioning, and copy the content into it from this website. Then I go sudo make and sudo make install successfully.
Though I do not know whether it is right to solve this problem, fortunately, I installed the PyQt and entered eric6. Hope you make successfully, too.

Adding the location.h header file for me on OSX 10.11.1.
I had the problem in both PyQt-gpl-5.5.1 and PyQt-gpl-5.5.2, but after adding the
file, was able to build.

The way of creating a qgeolocation.h in /PyQt-gpl-5.5.1/QtPositioning worked for me. The QtPositioning.so was created.

You can also take the header file from your qt source folder (you have installed the source files together with binaries, right?), it is located here:
/Src/qtlocation/src/positioning/qgeolocation.h
and then just copy it into:
/PyQt-gpl-X.X.X/QtPositioning/qgeolocation.h
as follows. It should solve the problem in 99.9% cases.

Does anyone know how to compile Megahal on Ubuntu?

I have been trying to compile megahal for a few hours now and i dont seem to be getting anywhere. Has anyone had success with this?
http://megahal.alioth.debian.org/
I keep getting an error that says :
inlined from ‘load_personality.constprop’ at megahal.c:3283:8,
inlined from ‘change_personality.constprop’ at megahal.c:3332:5:

I have installed python via sudo apt-get and i have been over every thread that talks about "'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' but I have found no solution

You are getting these errors just because you don't have the python development headers installed. You can install it using following command
sudo apt-get install python-dev ( for python 2.x )
sudo apt-get install python3-dev ( for python 3 )

you need the python developer module "python-dev".this will help you
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 while installing eventlet
after upgrading to vivid 15.04 on ubuntu i couldn't compile the module anymore so i tried something else. Since in the main folder there is a directory named Megahal with a Makefile in it, i tried to compile from there. First you need to go to that directory.
cd /home/user/Downloads/megahal-9.1.1/Megahal/
you need to go where you unzipped the archive and there you can read the README file and start compiling.
perl Makefile.PL
i copied the missing files i was able to find to that folder and from there
make
make test
but this didn't work for me and afther that
make install
i had to do
sudo make install
and that is all. unfortunately for me i have a problem with perl i think.
I keep getting this error from the module "PL_thr_key" after i load it to the eggdrop. The eggdrop works normally except for the module. No module, no AI and no fun :(

Using cmake with enthought for python wrapping

I recently started trying to switch to canopy from ipython notebooks, which I switched to from MATLAB. I am working towards getting a matlab-like experience for development and research.
I am doing most of these setups cross-platform, but I am starting on OS X.
I have been attempting to install packages for use in canopy, some of which require compilation such as SimpleITK and VTK6.0. I had these both successfully installed in my regular python2.7 installation, but I'm having some trouble installing them for canopy. Right now, Im working on recompiling SimpleITK/Superbuild with CMAKE to recreate the python wrappers. It asks for your python executable, include dir, and python lib location. I found the python executeable from sys.executable from within canopy, and the include dir with 'mdfind -name Python.h, which turned out to be the default location, I used the default python lib.
These were
executeable: /Users/jmerkow/Library/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/bin/python
Include: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Headers
Lib: /usr/lib/libpython2.7.dylib
But I get the following error upon make:
AssertionError: Filename /Applications/Canopy.app/appdata/canopy-1.1.0.1371.macosx-x86_64/Canopy.app/Contents/lib/python2.7/os.py does not start with any of these prefixes: ['/Users/jmerkow/Library/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User', '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages', '/Users/jmerkow/Library/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/Extras/lib/python', '/Users/jmerkow/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages', '/Users/jmerkow/.local/lib/python/2.7/site-packages', '/Users/jmerkow/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages']

Also, anyother tips to help me get this done are very welcome
EDIT BELOW
So I attempted to compile using:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/include/python2.7/
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/libpython2.7.dylib
This compiled and created and egg file named

You have configure SimpleITK to use your system python executable, library and include files. However, you are trying to run with the Canopy distribution. They are not binary compatible and the mismatch caused that type of program termination.
You canopy python executable was correctly found:
/Users/jmerkow/Library/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/bin/python
But you need to make the PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR and PYTHON_LIBRARY consistent. Try the following commands to help you determine the correct path:
find /Users/jmerkow/Library/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/ -name Python.h
find /Users/jmerkow/Library/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/ -name lib python*.dylib
