Hi Arjen: My guess is that PYTHON_LIBRARY:FILEPATH in the CMakeCache.txt file is providing this library name. On linux, that cached value is PYTHON_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/libpython2.7.so and on my MinGW/MSYS/wine platform it is PYTHON_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=z:/home/wine/newstart/python/Python27/libs/libpython27.a The Python library is required to satisfy the dependencies of the python bindings. The cached value of PYTHON_LIBRARY should be provided automatically by the CMake Python find module. If that find module is putting the wrong result into PYTHON_LIBRARY for some reason on your platform, then using the -DPYTHON_LIBRARY:FILEPATH cmake option should force the cache to have the correct value. Hope this overview of the purpose of the Python library and how it is found and cached helps you to solve the build issue. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
