The best advice I can give you is to use distutils to do the compiling for you. It knows about all the include and linking directories that are required:
http://docs.python.org/dist/dist.html If your case is simple, which it seems to be so far, you can write a very simple setup.py script, and build with: python setup.py build. As a bonus, you can use the same setup.py to build on other platforms. Here is a simple example: #!/usr/bin/env python2.3 from distutils.core import setup, Extension setup (name = "MyModule", version = "1.0", ext_modules = [Extension('MyModule',sources=['MyModule.c'])] ) This will build the C file: MyModule.c into an extension library MyModule.so One other suggestion: http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~greg/python/Pyrex/ Look into using pyrex instead of dealing with all that raw C. Or, if you are working with a C or C++ library, look into SWIG or Boost::python -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer NOAA/OR&R/HAZMAT (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
