Embedding Python into Dev-C++
Author
I''ve got a problem embedding Python into a game I''m doing using Dev-C++. Basically, the windows libraries you can download are *.lib, but GCC uses *.a libraries.
Has anyone compiled the libraries for Dev-C++? I''m on dialup, so downloading the whole Cygwin compilation package is pretty much out of the question.

I haven't compiled the libraries myself, instead I used the .lib files that came with the package (Python 2.2.3 for Windows). Dev-C++ (my version: 4.9.8.1) has no problem using them. All I had to do was:
- add the python/include dir to my project's include dir setting
- same with the python/libs dir
- add "-lpython22" to "Project Options/Command Line/Linker"
Worked perfectly.

Are you sure about this? I know this wasn''t possible before, and would be very surprised if it is now... .lib and .a are in different formats, and .a is what GCC uses, so I don''t get it... Perhaps you have the python libraries compiled for GCC somewhere in the path that you''re not aware of?

Well, I've just tested it and it appears that Dev-C++ _can_ link both .lib and .a libraries. I have to say that I'm very impressed. Thanks for pointing this out randomZ!
