PYTHON_VERSION_SUFFIX issue

[ivanstepanovftw]

i think it must be
PYTHON_VERSION_SUFFIX=3
instead of
PYTHON_VERSION_SUFFIX=-py3
-py3 working, but Boost returns /usr/lib/libboost_python.so that usually links to /usr/lib/libboost_python2.so.

Which OS/Distro? Unfortunately, each distro uses a different suffix somehow.

Manjaro

in mojave, when using brew python3 as default python:

brew install boost-python3
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
make test

it works for me.

But it is so difficult to build in python@2.
brew install boost-python will use the system python to compile libboost_python27-mt.dylib .

at any python2 environment :

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make

it can pass, but make test will fail.

finally, I use dirty way to solve this problem.
After cmake, in the CMakeCache.txt file I change to PYTHON_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7 .

Then make test succeed.

@ivanstepanovftw You can add a test for manjaro to build.sh and raise a PR.

Maybe later, thanks
