 So what you're saying is you can't troubleshoot linking problems.

No, that's not what I'm saying. Do learn to read. What I'm saying is that the OP would be better served by posting the problem statement in a group more closely related to the actual problem.
We may, I trust, presume that the Python source he is building is production code that has successfully been built before by other people? If so, then it's not a language issue, and that is enough to put it beyond comp.lang.c's brief.

Do you
get someone else to compile your code for you?

I tell the compiler to do it. Don't you?

 

Or are you claiming those don't count as part of development?

Not at all. Your keyboard's shift key is part of development too,
but that isn't enough to make it topical in comp.lang.c.

 Oh dear, if stuck go in circles, posted comparisons conveniently ignored.

Your inability to comprehend analogies does not stop them from being valid illustrations of the gaping holes in your "argument" (such as it is).

 

K&R would also claim that the function parameter type definitions have to
follow the prototype. Luckily that hasn't been the case since 1989.

Is it, then, your claim that K&R are mistaken or outdated and

 Is K&R outdated? Hmm, let me think about that for a nanosecond...

So it *is* your claim that...

that compilation no longer depends on the system you are using
and has now become a language attribute? Can you hear the
chuckles yet?

Laughing my socks off. Time to plonk, perhaps?

Wtf has the language standard got to do with anything?

Yep; time to plonk.
Bye-bye.
