Embedding Python in C under Windows

Question

I want to compile a .c file containing a Header Python.h using minGW on Windows 10. My Goal is to embedd some pythoncode in C an this is just a little test for the compiling.
My sourcefile looks as follows:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <C:\Python27\include\Python.h>

int main() 
{
    printf("Hello World from C");

    Py_Initialize();

    PyRun_SimpleString("print('Hello World from Python!!!')");

    Py_Finalize();


    return 0; 
}

My makefile looks as follows:

all: HelloWorld.c
    gcc -Wall -I C:\Python27\include -L C:\Python27\libs  -o HelloWorld.exe HelloWorld.c -lpython27

So if I compile my source Code with this makefile I get the following error:

gcc -Wall -I C:\Python27\include -L C:\Python27\libs  -o HelloWorld.exe HelloWorld.c -lpython27
C:\Users\ga96dux\AppData\Local\Temp\ccUQs2pM.o:HelloWorld.c:(.text+0x1b): undefined reference to `_imp__Py_Initialize'
C:\Users\ga96dux\AppData\Local\Temp\ccUQs2pM.o:HelloWorld.c:(.text+0x31): undefined reference to `_imp__PyRun_SimpleStringFlags'
C:\Users\ga96dux\AppData\Local\Temp\ccUQs2pM.o:HelloWorld.c:(.text+0x38): undefined reference to `_imp__Py_Finalize'
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [ï»¿all] Error 1

I´ve tried everything I could find in the Internet but it doesn't work, is there anything wrong with the makefile, are there any suggestions how to solve this Problem? Thank you very much!

Do you have Windows version of Python installed? It might be a problem with gcc not able to link properly to Windows dll's. — eozd, May 17 '18 at 13:54

OT, but you might want to consider doing this with *3.6* instead of *2.7*. — Antti Haapala -- Слава Україні, May 17 '18 at 13:59
