I'm trying to port an extension of mine from windows to linux and am not
sure how to include the myExtension.def file in the compile - I'm using
g++

eg if I use

g++ -shared -o myextension.so

it compiles fine but I get the following error when importing it into
python

>>> import myextension
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function
(initmyextension)
>>>

Thanks

Joe
