okay so i've tried this:

$ rm -rf build
$ mkdir build && cd $_
$ cmake3 -DWITH_PYTHON3=3.8 -DWITH_CCACHE=ON --trace-expand ..

and got this error output:

https://paste.sh/0orAJVkM#khoF1X09kmguHO5cC9JBEY3n

ps: i used "cmake -DWITH_PYTHON3=3.8 -DWITH_CCACHE=ON --trace-expand" since cmake3 is not installed.

then i tried installing python 3 again, which is already installed on my machine

and reran the command:

$ rm -rf build
$ mkdir build && cd $_
$ cmake3 -DWITH_PYTHON3=3.8 -DWITH_CCACHE=ON --trace-expand ..

this time the error output is different:

please find attached error log for this.

You could try the following to see if it assists with debugging the issue.

$ rm -rf build
$ bash -x ./do_cmake.sh 2>&1|grep "^+ cmake"
+ cmake3 -DWITH_PYTHON3=3.8 -DWITH_CCACHE=ON ..

The above gives you the base command you want to run later (it may be
different to mine) that we add '--trace-expand' to shortly.

$ rm -rf build
$ mkdir build && cd $_
$ cmake3 -DWITH_PYTHON3=3.8 -DWITH_CCACHE=ON --trace-expand ..

See if that gives you any more information about why it can't find python3.
