focus on this line " /usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libpython2.7.a(floatobject.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `PyExc_TypeError' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC", the file “/usr/local/lib/libpython2.7.a” is python2's install file, which is created by python2.7.18 source code compilation, it says “libpython2.7.a” compiled without "-fPIC", so we need to rebuild python2.7.18 source code in ubuntu and reinstall.
steps:
1 download python2.7.18, refer to: https://blog.csdn.net/lsqtzj/article/details/114298091
2 after unpacking source code, we need to configure python2.7.18 with command below, "CFLAGS=-fPIC" is critical, it applys to every c file compilation:
./configure --enable-optimizations CFLAGS=-fPIC
3 build and install python2.7.18. when building new python2.7.18, you may need to uninstall former installed old python2 and swtich to python3, refer to this link to uninstall python2 :software installation - uninstall Python installed by compiling source? - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange
4 enter "rk3568_linux_sdk", type command "./build.sh recovery", now host-python-2.7.16 in recovery buildroot would be ok.
