Re: Gnumeric & Python

Yes, you are right.  (I didn't look close enough).  There is also a
BASEMODELIBS variable, and the LIBS variable seems to be used.  Some code
that should work is:

  py_makefile=`python -c 'import sys ; print sys.exec_prefix + "/lib/python" + sys.version[:3] + "/config/Makefile"'`

  py_local_mod_libs="`sed -n 's/^LOCALMODLIBS=\(.*\)/\1/p' $py_makefile`"
  py_base_mod_libs="`sed -n 's/^BASEMODLIBS=\(.*\)/\1/p' $py_makefile`"
  py_other_libs="`sed -n 's/^LIBS=\(.*\)/\1/p' $py_makefile`"

  PY_EXTRA_LIBS="$py_local_mod_libs $py_base_mod_libs $py_other_libs"
  AC_SUBST(PY_EXTRA_LIBS)

This is (hopefully) the correct code to detect what extra libraries to
link in.
