Swig compile errors

[superprad at gmail.com]

Hi I am trying to write a python wrapper for a C code I have using
swig. when i try to compile the _wrap.c i get a bunch of these warnings
and errors can anyone help
Steps I followed :

$swig -python test_hk.c
this generates test_hk.py and test_hk_wrap.c
then i compile it as

$gcc -Wall -std=c99 test_hk.c test_hk_wrap.c -I/usr/include/python2.3/

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.5/../../../crt1.o(.text+0x18): In
function `_start':
../sysdeps/i386/elf/start.S:98: undefined reference to `main'

: undefined reference to `PyOS_snprintf'
and a bunch of them..............
