I'm trying to figure out how to compile Python modules in C ( http://docs.python.org/extending/extending.html ), but the Python.h header file appears to be missing.
I've installed all the python development headers (I have Python-dev, python2.7-dev, python2.6-dev, python-all-dev) but gcc is still reutrning the error:
fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Any idea where I'm going wrong here? Also is there an argument I need to add to gcc for Python.h (and what is it?).
You need to use python-config
to determine the compile time and link time flags.
When compiling:
gcc -c `python-config --cflags` somefile.c
When linking:
gcc -o libfoo.so -shared `python-config --ldflags`
Though you really ought to think about using distutils as described in Building C and C++ Extensions with distutils
