I'm not sure what 'embeddedTest' is and how you attempt to link it, but
from the error it is clear that you are not linking in the python
interpreter itself, i.e. you are missing -lpython<version> in your
linker command line.

(Note that you don't need this when compiling extension modules, as the
symbols are then provided by the python executable. In this case,
however, you are embedding the python interpreter itself into your app...)
