[Pythonmac-SIG] porting a python extension to OS X 10.2

[Stephen A. Langer]

Hello --

Can someone point me to a summary of how to compile and link a Python
extension module, written in C++, under OS X 10.2?  On other Unixes 
(Linux, SGI), we compile with gcc 2.95.x and link with gcc -shared, 
producing a .so file
which Python is happy to load.   gcc 3.1 on OS X doesn't understand -shared.
Do I have to use libtool instead?  When I try to do that, libtool complains
at the end about all sorts of undefined symbols, which should have been
resolved by the list of libraries it was given.

What am I missing?

Many thanks,

       Steve
