I am trying to compile a c++ project referencing Python using CMake. I am using Cygwin and I have Python2.7 source files in Cygwin.
For example:
PyObject *l = PyList_New(0);
Online help suggested I add the -lpython2.7 linker flag. Am I not adding this correctly in CMake? Otherwise why can I still not use the Python library and how might I fix this?
The compile line:
C:\cygwin64\bin\cmake.exe --build "C:\Users\...\.clion10\system\cmake\generated\3e6845d6\3e6845d6\Release" --target projectname -- -j 4
The CMakeList.txt file:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.4)
project(projectname)
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11 -lpython2.7")
set(SOURCE_FILES
src/cpp/...
src/cpp/...
src/cpp/..
src/cpp/...
src/cpp/...)
add_executable(projectname ${SOURCE_FILES})
The errors...

...and so on....
