build: prereq detect Python 3.10 for `python3` binary

2021-10-10T14:25:58Z

While the binary `python3.10` is correctly detected by the build system the default `python3` binary is currently not detected if pointing to a Python 3.10 installation. Fix this by extending the grep regex. Signed-off-by: Paul Spooren

prereq-build: require python3-distutils

2021-08-21T14:31:20Z

Debian and Ubuntu ship a python3-minimal package which does not include the distutils module. This is not supported by upstream and can be considered a broken python distribution. In practice, many scripts depend on said module, and this is a reoccuring pain point for building various OpenWrt packages. Require and check for said module, enough time has been wasted on this.

Remove \n that mangles output, and fix inconsistent version name check. Example before: Build dependency: Please install the GNU C++ Compiler (g++) 6 or later Build dependency: \nPlease reinstall the GNU C++ Compiler (4.8 or later) - it appears to be broken Build dependency: Please install ncurses.

Extend checks on build prerequisites for building OpenWRT core

2021-05-08T10:43:45Z

OpenWRT requires a number of Perl modules to be installed. It wasn't checking on all of them. This patch adds checks for Perl FindBin, File::Copy, File::Compare and Thread::Queue modules. Failing to install these, will have the build break at some point. By adding these to the prereq-build.mk script, they are checked on forehand. Tested on a Fedora 33 and 34 (beta) that was freshly installed. Fedora appears to break up Perl modules into small packages that need to be installed for the build to succeed.
