[Tutor] [tutor] Calling python from a c program

[Varsha Purohit]

I am gettng following linking errors....

  [Linker error] undefined reference to `_imp__Py_Initialize'
  [Linker error] undefined reference to `PyRun_SampleString'
  [Linker error] undefined reference to `_imp__Py_Finalize'

I think i need to set the path to the linker... may be i need to pass
linking options of python to the c compiler... but wat are those options :(
??
