Build of CMSIS pack manager fails

I am following the instructions to setup mbed for the PSoC prototyping kit at Cypress products with Mbed OS - | Mbed
I am using Cygwin64 and get the following error complaining that Python.h could not be found. The Python development package is installed and the include path in the gcc command points to the correct location, highlighted below. I am a bit frustrated as I had to install a bunch of extra packages in Cygwin to get even this far.

I appreciate any help.

$ pip3 install --upgrade pip ‘mbed-ls>=1.7.1’ ‘pyocd>=0.16’

Most of the time these are dependency-issues. Python.h is used by GNU Compiler Collection (gcc) to build applications. You need to install a package called python-dev for building Python modules, extending the Python interpreter or embedding Python in applications. You encounter “Python.h: No such file or directory” error while trying to build a shared library using the file extension of another language ( e.g. ‘C’ ). If you are trying to build a shared library using the file extension of another language, you need to install the correct development version of Python.

Reason for this error:

  • You haven’t properly installed the header files and static libraries for python dev.
  • Also, sometimes include files might not be default in the include path.

How to solve this error:

  • Install the missing files and libraries.
  • Include Path and Library.
  • Finally, Compile it.
