Additionally, the method used for obtaining the ``fortranobject.c`` file +can also be used to grab the ``numpy`` headers on older ``cmake`` versions. + This then works in the same manner as the other modules, although the naming conventions are different and the output library is not automatically prefixed with the ``cython`` information. |
