# Finally, if a line contains just the word "*shared*" (without the

# quotes but with the stars), then the following modules will not be
|

# built statically. The build process works like this:
|
||||
#
|
||||
# 1. Build all modules that are declared as static in Modules/Setup,
|
||||
# combine them into libpythonxy.a, combine that into python.
|
||||
# 2. Build all modules that are listed as shared in Modules/Setup.
|
||||
# 3. Invoke setup.py. That builds all modules that
|
||||
# a) are not builtin, and
|
||||
# b) are not listed in Modules/Setup, and
|
||||
# c) can be build on the target
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Therefore, modules declared to be shared will not be
|
||||
# included in the config.c file, nor in the list of objects to be
|

# added to the library archive, and their linker options won't be
|

# added to the linker options, but rules to create their .o files and
