| Missing documentation part about linking program with libpython (embedding python). Questions are: How one can get needed CFLAGS (-I... -D...) How one can get needed LDFLAGS (-L... -l...) For now, applications assumes that headers located in PREFIX/include/pythonX.Y, libraries located in EXEC_PREFIX/lib/pythonX.Y/config |

| I did not found all these Google hist. Most of the links on the first page for “link libpython” are bug reports which are rejected by maintainers. Related: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-February/060549.html So, what do people link with libpython for? |

| Éric, this is for embedding a Python interpreter in a C/C++ application. I tend to agree that the official doc page (http://docs.python.org/extending/embedding.html) on this topic is somewhat lacking in the area of the configuration/compilation procedure. There's some info scattered around the web in tutorials, though. So I'd say it's a valid issue. |

| There is (outdated, incomplete and clumsy) documentation about using distutils.sysconfig from the command-line. I'll try to work on a small patch. It will probably be Unix-only, though. |

| I think mentioning that you can export CFLAGS and LDFLAGS would be particularly useful. I was able to compile some of the missing packages that were deemed 'missing' at the end of 'make' by updating setup.py and having CFLAGS and LDFLAGS point to the desired packages' directories... Unfortunately for linux, the ability to specify *multiple* lib/ and include/ paths using this method is currently not available unless you modify setup.py. I opened a ticket in relation to this: Issue13511 if anyone cares. |

Unless I'm missing something, this is slightly off-topic for this issue, which is about using Python as an embedded interpreter, not compiling it. Embedding Python assumes it has already been built. |

| ISTM that part of the doc specifically deals with Unix, so this issue can be closed as completed. Windows is a different issue. Perhaps the documentation should have a new section on embedding on Windows, similarly to the "Building C and C++ Extensions on Windows" section in the "extending" documentation. Anyway, if there's interest in that, it should be a separate issue. |

| I've now backported the 3.x update to the 2.7 docs in Issue18164 (I hadn't noticed that this issue was still open). As Eli noted, if any updates are needed to cover Windows, a separate issue should be opened. I'm closing this one. |
