python.host could not find platform independent libraries

[gera2ld]

When trying to build with command:

buildozer android_new debug deploy run

I got error like this:

I tried running /Users/gerald/Source/ponggame/.buildozer/android/platform/build/build/python-installs/ponggame/bin/python.host directly, it has errors above too. Is that python.host broken?

[dkruk]

Try to add python2 in application requirements.

[pythongiant]

has anyone solved this?

[inclement]

@pythongiant If you have this issue with p4a master, could you paste the full build log?

[pythongiant]

@inclement do you need the spec file too

[Zen-CODE]

I hit this error when building to a shared folder in VBox. In this scenario, some of the symlinks cannot be created.
@gera2ld. What is your build destination and file system?

[wingchen]

any update on this one? I still see it.

[poorya-kh]

It's also my problem. I don't know what's behind this error ...

[inclement]

Closing as stale, relates to a deprecated build method in python-for-android.
