Problems building a dll.

[Mike Meyer <mwm-dated-1081274404 dot 4c420a at mired dot org>]

Please bear with tme. I belive this is a cygwin problem.

I'm trying to build a python extension module under cygwin. This means
it links against the dll containg the python interpreter. The linking fails,
with this error message:

build/temp.cygwin-1.5.9-i686-2.4/grammarmodule.o(.text+0x10e2): In function `get_grammar':
/cygdrive/c/Python/dist/src/Modules/grammarmodule.c:855: undefined reference to `__PyParser_Grammar'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

grepping the output of nm on libpython2.4.dll for that symbol turns up
the following:

lab$ nm libpython2.4.dll| grep _PyParser_Grammar
6a91cd98 D __PyParser_Grammar
6a9033f8 d __PyParser_Grammar

The command that builds the dll - well, tries to build it - is:

gcc -shared -Wl,--enable-auto-image-base build/temp.cygwin-1.5.9-i686-2.4/grammarmodule.o -L/usr/local/lib -L. -lpython2.4 -o build/lib.cygwin-1.5.9-i686-2.4/grammar.dll

This command is executed in the directory that libpython2.4.dll is, so
the -L. -lpython2.4 should pick up the dll.

In grovelling through the archives, it appeared that the output of
cygcheck was desirable in problem reports, so I've added it here.

Attachment: cygcheck
Description: cygcheck output

Any and all help appreciated.

	Thanks,
