Q: Static extension of Python using SWIG

[Helmut Zeisel]

I want to build a static extension of Python using SWIG and VC++ 6.0 as
described in http://www.swig.org/Doc1.3/Python.html#n8 for gcc.

My file is testerl.i:

=========================
%module testerl

extern int hz(int i);

%include embed.i
==========================

I essentially use the same settings as described in
http://www.swig.org/Doc1.3/Python.html#n12 for dynamic extensions,
in particular I link python23.lib. (SWIG is 1.3.21, Python is 2.3.4).
Additionally I define the preprocessor macro STATIC_LINKED and the
preprocessor inclide path Python-2.3.4\PC (for config.c). I tried to
call swig with and without option c++.

Creating DLL works, but when linking for a statically linked version I
get the warnings and error messages added below - any idea what is missing?

Did anyone succeed in building a statically extend python using VC?
Which version?

Helmut
