Hi there. Thanks to Bill and Ben for your feedback, it did help.
I did not manage to create the module following one of the method but i did gather enough information from your input to be nearer my target :) Some words about the background: yes, i m building stuff under linux. I build things in scratchbox, the developpment plateform for maemo application (the nokia internet tablet linux sdk): http://maemo.org/ The development environment is a sort of chroot environment where you can either build stuff for i686 and launch apps on a local Xserver, or cross compile package for the arm architecture used on the n800 tablet. There are no sword library nor swig available by default on this machine, but i manage to package both. Now, reading your mails and looking at what the different Makefile were doing, i manage to perform the following: ---------------------- cd /home/melmoth/dev/maemosword/sword-1.5.9/bindings/swig export SWIG_FEATURES="-I/usr/include/sword" mkdir python swig -python -c++ -shadow -o python/Sword.cxx -I. -I/usr/include/sword sword.i echo "writing python/setup.py" echo "#! /usr/bin/python" > python/setup.py echo "" >> python/setup.py echo "from distutils.core import setup, Extension" >> python/setup.py echo "setup (name = \"sword\"," >> python/setup.py echo " version = \"1.5.9\"," >> python/setup.py echo " maintainer = \"Sword Developers\"," >> python/setup.py echo " maintainer_email = \"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"," >> python/setup.py echo " url = \"http://www.crosswire.org/sword\","; >> python/setup.py echo " py_modules = [\"Sword\"]," >> python/setup.py echo " include_dirs=['/usr/include/sword']," >> python/setup.py echo " ext_modules = [Extension(\"_Sword\", [\"Sword.cxx\"]," >> python/setup.py echo " libraries=[('sword')], " >> python/setup.py echo " define_macros=[('SWIG',1)])], " >> python/setup.py echo ")" >> python/setup.py cd python python setup.py build_ext -I. -I/usr/include/sword -L/usr/lib/sword ---------------------- I end up with some _Sword.o (./build/lib.linux-i686-2.3/_Sword.so) i place in the chrooted environment here scratchbox/tools/lib/python2.3/site-packages/ However, i still cannot load the Sword module: [sbox-SDK_X86: ~/dev/maemosword/sword-1.5.9/bindings/swig/python] > python Python 2.3.4 (#1, Nov 30 2006, 05:03:15) [GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import Sword Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "Sword.py", line 7, in ? import _Sword ImportError: /scratchbox/host_shared/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3.4' not found (required by /usr/lib/libsword-1.5.9.so) Why is sword looking for GLIBC_2.3.4 ? Sword binary such as diatheke works ok. ldd /usr/bin/diatheke shows the following libc line libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7b03000) ldd /usr/lib/libsword-1.5.9.so shows: libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00000000) The glibc is packaged already in the sdk and is not 2.3.4 but 2.3.5 : ii libc6 2.3.5cs2005q3.2-5.osso12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone data I do not understant why python states libsword need GLIBC_2.3.4 although other binary linked against it do not complain. I must admit i m not that used of playing with linkers :) I m not sure if the problem is located in the way i packaged/compile sword or the way i generate the swig binding. Any help would be appreciated. Have a nice day.
