Problems embedding Python

[Psymaster]

I've tried running scripts from the embedded interpreter but it doesn't
work. If I try the same scripts as strings to interpret it works. Here
is my program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include "Python.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
FILE *script = fopen("c:/c.py", "r");

Py_Initialize();
PyRun_SimpleFile(script, "c.py");
Py_Finalize();

return 0;
}


c.py contains just a simple print statement.

This compiles and links under MSVC 6 but when run crashes. Any help?

Maybe escape your backslash? :

FILE *script = fopen("c:/c.py", "r");

You are almost certainly not linking with the correct CRTL. You *must*
use the /MD compiler option for release builds, or /MDd for debug builds.

What's a CRTL? Hiw do I pass these options to the compiler? I've
already said that if I pass the contents of the file as strings and
execute them with PyRun_SimpleString() it works fine. Also, I know the
file is loaded because I can read it from my program.
