As is noted a bit further up in Makefile.pre.in: 1178 # Install the library and miscellaneous stuff needed for extending/embedding 1179 # This goes into $(exec_prefix) 1180 LIBPL= $(LIBDEST)/config-$(LDVERSION) As I understand it, LIBPL is the directory that contains the development files needed for embedding Python in C, things like the static and shared libpythox.x and the Makefile itself. They are intended to be referenced through the pythonx.y-config command. For example, on Debian, LIBPL is /usr/lib/python2.7/config. $ python2.7-config --ldflags -L/usr/lib/python2.7/config -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm -lpython2.7 -Xlinker -export-dynamic The usage is documented here: http://docs.python.org/dev/extending/embedding.html#compiling-and-linking -under-unix-like-systems -- Ned Deily, [email protected] _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
