Problem embedding Python...

[Andrew McCall]

Hi Folks,

I have now managed to work out how to embed Python to allow me to
script my application, the only problem is I am getting a compiler
error when I try to compile:

The error is:

Compiler: Default compiler

Settings\andy.mccall\Desktop\PythonEmbed\main.cpp" -o "C:\Documents and

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks,

These errors indicate that the linker can't find the Python library
(python24.lib).

-L"C:\Python24\Lib"

I think you want to say -L"C:\Python24\Libs" instead. 'libs' contains
the binary lib files, while 'lib' contains the .py library files.
