Compiling Python to a static lib and using pythoncore.lib










8















I'm trying to build Python 2.7 as a static single .lib file.



I've already made the following changes to the Python source code:



  1. Change to "Release" mode.

  2. Change all DLL projects to Static library (.lib) and set runtime library to /MT

  3. Add preprocessor definition Py_NO_ENABLE_SHARED to python and pythoncore

I've managed to compile the pythoncore project to pythoncore.lib (about 11mb size),
but when trying to compile the python project I get the following linking errors:




error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __Py_ActivateActCtx referenced in function __PyImport_GetDynLoadFunc C:Python-2.7.3_SourcePCbuildpythoncore.lib(dynload_win.obj)
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __Py_DeactivateActCtx referenced in function __PyImport_GetDynLoadFunc C:Python-2.7.3_SourcePCbuildpythoncore.lib(dynload_win.obj)
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __Py_hgidentifier referenced in function __PySys_Init C:Python-2.7.3_SourcePCbuildpythoncore.lib(sysmodule.obj)
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __Py_hgversion referenced in function __PySys_Init C:Python-2.7.3_SourcePCbuildpythoncore.lib(sysmodule.obj)
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _Py_GetBuildInfo referenced in function _Py_GetVersion C:Python-2.7.3_SourcePCbuildpythoncore.lib(getversion.obj)




Can anyone help me?



Thanks,

I just managed to make it work.. if it would help anyone, these are the changes I made:



  1. Add Modulesgetbuildinfo.c to the pythoncore project.

  2. In PCdl_nt.c move this line #ifdef Py_ENABLE_SHARED from line 14 to line 79 (just above DllMain).

... and that's it!



You may now link to pythoncore.lib :)
