That should be <Python.h> of an actual Python installation.

Just pass a -DHAVE_NANOSLEEP to the compiler for timer.cc. Then it
won't try to redefine things. It was only required for systems that
don't have an implementation for the nanosleep C function (like
Windows).


For paths.cc you'll need to pass
-DPKGLIBDIR=\"\\\"/usr/local/lib/adonthell\\\"\"" and
-DDATA_DIR=\"\\\"/usr/local/share/adonthell\\\"\"".

Those values would be the default on Unix, but you could change them
to something that makes more sense in your case.

PKGLIBDIR specifies where the backend modules go, DATA_DIR is the
default location for game data files.

Actually, DATA_DIR can be overridden by passing the -g parameter to
the engine and a ADONTHELL_MODULES_PATH environment variable takes
precedence over PKGLIBDIR. So it hardly matters what you specify here.


As for the undeclared functions, the #includes in paths.cc might not
be right for your system. Seems you need to additionally #include
<stdio.h> to get stderr and fprintf. For getcwd you'll probably want
#include <unistd.h>
