./configure says 'checking if compile and link flags for Python 3 are sane... no: PYTHON3 DISABLED' when compiling from source

[GNUqb114514]

Steps to reproduce

1. Install required packages using sudo nala install libncurses5-dev libgtk2.0-dev libatk1.0-dev libcairo2-dev libx11-dev libxpm-dev libxt-dev python3-dev ruby-dev lua5.2 liblua5.2-dev libperl-dev git htop neofetch
2. Go into the vim source code and run: ./configure --enable-luainterp=dynamic --enable-python3interp=dynamic --enable-perlinterp=dynamic --enable-rubyinterp=dynamic --enable-multibyte --with-features=huge --enable-cscope --enable-fail-if-missing
3. ./configure says checking if compile and link flags for Python 3 are sane... no: PYTHON3 DISABLED and fail.

Expected behaviour

./configure finished successfully and generate a makefile for compiling vim with python3 support.

please check the src/auto/config.log for the error message.

For Ubuntu try: sudo apt-get build-dep vim-nox and then your configure call should succeed.

I installed this package and removed it, maybe it fixed some dependencies. And just a FYI: It is good to use Nala instead.

What is Nala? In any case please close the issue if it is no longer relevant.

That just seems like a wrapper around apt. I don't need that, I am perfectly happy with using the apt family commands on ubuntu.
