Hi Joris, this is a great ( short ) recipe ! Could you elaborate on the line "You need to compile myextension.cpp and make a shared library from it. The easiest way is to use Scons with the constructor file:" !? How do you call Scons in your example !? On Windows ( = cygwin !? ) , Linux and on OS-X ?
I think Joris mentioned scons because that's the easiest way to build a shared library in a cross platform way (taking care of -fPIC on unix, linker option, etc...). Scons is like make, and SConstruct files are like makefiles: you just call scons instead of make when you have a SConstruct file.
Scons is now part of numpy (svn), right ? (at least the scons version you mean)
I think this had nothing to do with using scons to build numpy/scipy per se (numpy svn does not include scons, BTW, only hooks to call scons from distutils). cheers, David
