Question

I’ve literally spent the past half hour searching for the solution to this, and everything involves GCC. What I do here works absolutely fine with GCC, however I’m using TinyCC, and this is where I’m getting confused. First the code:

#include <Python.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char*argv[]) {     Py_Initialize();     PyRun_SimpleString('print(\'Hello World!\')');     Py_Finalize();     return 0; } 

I then call tcc like so:

tcc -o tinypyembed.exe tiny.c -IC:\Python26\include -LC:\Python26\libs -lpython26 

It then becomes a big fat jerk and spits out

tcc: undefined symbol 'Py_Initialize' tcc: undefined symbol 'PyRun_SimpleStringFlags' tcc: undefined symbol 'Py_Finalize' 

I’m totally at my wits end and really do appreciate it if anyone knows what’s up.

After asking a friend to try this out I have discovered that it is in fact a windows issue. May this stay here as a warning to anyone else who may try tinycc with python on windows.

Did you use tiny_impdef.exe to create a .def file for the Python DLL?
