I'm trying to add joblib in my Linux embedded environment through Buildroot. As it is not part of the default Buildroot menu for Python3 packages, I added it with the scanpypi script from Buildroot and followed the user manual instructions to add it in the menu and select it. I then ran make but it seems there is a problem with the joblib library : Here is what I get.
>>> python-joblib 1.1.0 Installing to target
<a ton of logs about the installation>
>>> Finalizing host directory
>>> Finalizing target directory

As you can see it's complaining about the encoding of a file. But I have no idea what I can do about it... Has anyone any idea ?
