I am compiling CPP program which uses CPython API functions from Python 2.5.1 source code
First I compiled with this commanline, that time I got "pyconfig.h" not found. g++ -Os -I../../Include ../../libpython2.5.a -lm -ldl -lpthread -lutil testeval.cpp In file included from testeval.cpp:1: ../../Include/Python.h:8:22: pyconfig.h: No such file or directory In file included from ../../Include/Python.h:57, from testeval.cpp:1: ../../Include/pyport.h:4:48: pyconfig.h: No such file or directory ../../Include/pyport.h:734:2: #error "LONG_BIT definition appears wrong for platform (bad gcc/glibc config?)." So, I added "-I../../PC" to my cmd line to get pyconfig.h, like: g++ -Os -I../../Include -I../../PC/ ../../libpython2.5.a -lm -ldl - lpthread -lutil testeval.cpp As soon as I ran this command I got a long list of errors as shown below. Why the dllimport errors are coming? I did not get these errors when I did same compilation with Python 2.2.3. Please help. Thanks.
