The correct way depends on the operating system. In this case, you
should study and understand the error messages, and correct them.

This is a warning; you can ignore it.

This is an error. The symbol "sin" is defined by the math library, so
you need to link with "-lm". Add this linker option, then see what
other errors remain. Proceed for other undefined symbols in the same
way: find out where these symbols are defined, and add the missing
libraries.
In principle, you can use both distutils and the installed
Makefile.pre to obtain the necessary information in a
platform-independent way. However, it would be simpler to just adjust
the build process manually if you target only a few systems.
