Link to Python with MinGW

Question

I wan\'t want to create a cross-plattform programm that embedds the python interpreter, and compile it with MinGW. But the Python Binary distribution provides no libraries f

Answer 1

EmbeddingPython.c

#include 

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    Py_SetProgramName((wchar_t *)argv[0]);  /* optional but recommended */
    Py_Initialize();
    PyRun_SimpleString("from time import time,ctime\n"
        "print('Today is', ctime(time()))\n");
    Py_Finalize();
    return 0;
}

and use gcc as following:

gcc EmbeddingPython.c -I C:\Python34\include -LC:/Python34/libs -lpython34 -o a.exe

and it works as we expected.
