error compiling from source XBMC 13.2-Gotham

Hi, new compiling... new problem...
As I said, I have one HP Thin Client T5740 with Intel Atom 1.66 MHz, 1Gb RAM and Broadcom BCM70015 decoder card installed on it.
I have install the last version of archlinux on T5740 and this working very well.
Thanks to the precious assistance received from frank604, I was able to compile from source Broadcom BCM70015 driver.
Now I want to compile from source XBMC 13.2-Gotham and for this I did the following steps :

git clone -b 13.2-Gotham  https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git
./bootstrap
./configure --enable-crystalhd

After last command I received the following error :

checking for std::u16string... no
checking for std::u32string... no
checking for char16_t... no
checking for char32_t... no
checking size of wchar_t... 4

  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unorderable types: str() >= float()
no
configure: error: this package requires Python >= 2.4.
If you have it installed, but it isn't the default Python
interpreter in your system path, please pass the PYTHON_VERSION
variable to configure. See ``configure --help'' for reference.

I installed the latest version of Python, as shown

[eugen@HP-T5740 xbmc]$ python -V
Python 3.4.2

Any help is great.
Thanks

Re: error compiling from source XBMC 13.2-Gotham

You need to tell the script to use python2 instead of python3. Run configure with "PYTHON_VERSION=2 ./configure ......".
