Building a Module with Py_cpp

Right now, the only supported configuration is one in which the py_cpp source files are statically linked with the source for your extension module. You may first build them into a library and link it with your extension module source, but the effect is the same as compiling all the source files together. Some users have successfully built the py_cpp sources into a shared library, and support for a shared library build is planned, but not yet implemented. The py_cpp source files are:

extclass.cpp
functions.cpp
init_function.cpp
module.cpp
newtypes.cpp
objects.cpp
py.cpp
subclass.cpp
