I'm trying to figure out how to compile and link a Python extension module. In my generated aclocal.m4 file I saw this comment:
# Adds support for distributing Python modules and packages. To # install modules, copy them to $(pythondir), using the python_PYTHON # automake variable. To install a package with the same name as the # automake package, install to $(pkgpythondir), or use the # pkgpython_PYTHON automake variable. This, unfortunately, makes not a lick of sense to me. I didn't see anything in the automake info file about building Python extension modules. Can someone give me a simple automake recipe for building python/alfmodule.so from python/alfmodule.c? I found references to $(pythondir) and $(pkgpythondir) in the automake manual, but not the other items. I don't need/want $(pkgpythondir). I'm just installing a simple module, not a package.
