Making a python extension in c++

[Erik Weber]

I am attempting to make a Python-2.0 extension on Linux.  If I include in
Setup the lines

*shared*
test test.c

it compiles test.so no problem.  If however I use the lines

*shared*
test test.cc

then the build fails with;

[erikw at devbrick4 testwiz]$ make
fpic  -g -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I/usr/local/include/python2.0 -I/usr
/loc
al/include/python2.0 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./test.cc
make: fpic: Command not found
make: [test.o] Error 127 (ignored)
gcc -shared  test.o  -o test.so
gcc: test.o: No such file or directory
gcc: No input files
make: *** [test.so] Error 1
[erikw at devbrick4 testwiz]$

It seems to me as though the ".cc" extension causes the Makefile.pre.in
stuff to fail.  Has anyone compiled a C++ based extension?  If so, what did
your Setup file look like?
