Hi Jeff thanx for the reply I'm a complete noob when it comes to Linux and trying to learn how to manage the compilation process of the same objects that work on windows.
The complete linking line is this. ------------------ all: main main: utm.o utmmodule.o $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -shared -fPIC -Xlinker -export-dynamic -lpython2.3 -o utm.so ------------------- If you could direct me into how to properly link the stuff into the .so file, I'd appreciate it. I will check to see if the symbols are effectively exported to the .so file. In windows I found it pretty easy to create the module files as dlls.
