According to my understanding of C there should indeed be a semicolon as well, but the C compiler gives a syntax errro warning. The first lines of my C code (which runs perfectly under Linux with gcc BTW) are as follows:


#include "c:\python22\include\Python.h"
#include "c:\python22\include\numeric\arrayobject.h"
#define PY_ARRAY_UNIQUE_SYMBOL
#include "libnumpy-access.h"

static PyObject* find_minimum(PyObject *self, PyObject *args){
........


Ok, I found the problem. Within libnumpy-access.h yet again arrayobject.h is called which causes the problem. So changing this to

#include "c:\python22\include\Python.h"
#include "c:\python22\include\numeric\arrayobject.h"
#include "libnumpy-access.h"
#define PY_ARRAY_UNIQUE_SYMBOL

static PyObject* find_minimum(PyObject *self, PyObject *args){
........

Now it works perfectly. Probably my code runs under linux anyway due to silly CR LF things which always bug multiplatform development.

Kudos to Fernando Perez because his libnumpy-access files make my code a lot more readable.

with best regards,
