There is a task in front of me: there is some python script, it needs to be used in a DLL, while minimizing the number of output files (preferably up to one dll).
So, the python script itself is loaded into project resources and executed using the Python / C API. The next step, I would like to integrate the python interpreter into my dll.
For this:
- Download the source code ("Solution") Python 2.7.11 from the official site
- One project is chosen for compilation - pythoncore
- Configuration type changed from DLL (dynamic link library) to LIB (static library)
- The resulting LIB file is added according to my project.
As far as I know, when compiling my project, the statically linked libraries should export their code to the link library. Accordingly, this LIB file (~ 15Mb!) Is completely self-contained (as I understand it).
But when I compile my project, I get errors:
Error 3 error LNK2019: link to unresolved external symbol __imp__Py_Initialize in the _main E: \ 7zip \ myprogtamm \ myprogtamm \ main.obj function
The declaration and source code of this function is present in the project - pythoncore.
What could be the reason?
