Error compiling python.h with C program

Question

I am using eclipse and cygwin gcc compiler. Trying to use the Python.h for my C program but encounter these errors when compiling. Any ideas?

In file included from C:/Python27/include/python.h:86,
                 from ../src/EmbeddedPython.c:13:

Looks like you need some more includes.

I don't know if this would help you out or not, but using gcc on OS X to compile a C program with embedded Python I had to link to the Python library. For instance from the command line I compiled:

gcc python_test.c -lpython2.7 -o python_test

where -l is the flag and python2.7 is my Python library folder.
