python3 is unavailable when cross compiling OpenCV

[oldcoder-pixel]

1. Environment and Target

Build environment: Ubuntu 22.04 Target environment: aarch64-Linux-Android OpenCV:4.10 I have cross compiled Python 3.11 and it can run on Android arm-v8a. I want to cross compile OpenCV to generate a Python library that supports the target environment.

2. Building This is my cmake script:

export PYTHON_HOST=/home/ad/host-dev/x86_python311
export PYTHON_TARGET=/home/ad/dev-lib/python311
cmake \
 -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/home/ad/Android/Sdk/ndk/27.2.12479018/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake \
 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
 -DANDROID_ABI:STRING=arm64-v8a \
 -DANDROID_PLATFORM:STRING=android-30 \
 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/home/ad/dev-lib/opencv/myinstall \
 -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON \
 -DANDROID_STL=c++_shared \
 -DBUILD_opencv_python2:BOOL=OFF \
 -DBUILD_opencv_python3:BOOL=ON \
 -DPYTHON3_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=${PYTHON_HOST}/bin/python3.11 \
 -DPYTHON3_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=${PYTHON_TARGET}/include/python3.11 \
 -DPYTHON3_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=${PYTHON_TARGET}/lib/libpython3.11.so.1.0 \
 -DOPENCV_PYTHON3_INSTALL_PATH:PATH=${PYTHON_TARGET}/lib/python3.11/site-packages \
 -DPYTHON3_PACKAGES_PATH:PATH=${PYTHON_TARGET}/lib/python3.11/site-packages \
 -DPYTHON3_NUMPY_INCLUDE_DIRS:PATH=${PYTHON_TARGET}/lib/python3.11/site-packages/numpy/_core/include \
 -S ./ -B ./mybuild

After executing the cmake command,python3 is unavailable, the options related to Python 3 are empty, as shown in the following figure.

This is my env:

export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=/home/ad/Android/Sdk/ndk/27.2.12479018
export ANDROID_HOME=/home/ad/Android/Sdk
export ANDROID_SDK_PLANTFORM_TOOLS=/home/ad/Android/Sdk/platform-tools
export MESON_PATH="/home/ad/.local/bin"
export CMAKE_ANDROID_NDK="/home/ad/Android/Sdk/cmake/4.0.2" 
export PYTHON3_BIN=/home/ad/host-dev/x86_python311
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ad/dev-lib/python311/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ad/host-dev/x86_python311/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ad/host-dev/x86_python311/lib/python3.11/site-packages/numpy/_core:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=$ANDROID_NDK_HOME:$ANDROID_HOME:$ANDROID_SDK_PLANTFORM_TOOLS:$CMAKE_ANDROID_NDK:$PYTHON3_BIN:$PATH

3. Question (1)Is there a fight for the setting of PYTHON3_deECUTABLE, PYTHON3-INCLUDE-DIR, and PYTHON3_LIBRRY? Which parameter is the Python of the host machine? Which is the Python parameter for the target platform? (2)How should I modify cmake or environment variable parameters?
