Building Boost Python

BraveSirAndrew

Has anybody here ever tried to build the boost.python libraries? I'm using the VS6 project as opposed to bjam, cus I really haven't a clue what I'm doing with bjam , but its driving me around the f@*%!ng bend. I'm getting a giant list of compile errors, but all my paths are definitely set up properly, and I'm just not sure what else I should be doing.

Post your first 10 lines of compile errors.

Edit builtin_converters.cpp

On line 2146 add ";" to the end of line.
Try the compile again.

Tell us what happens.

Right, I'm going to try this again. I forgot I took out the headers <boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp> and <boost/python/converter/builtin_converters.hpp> to get this working and those were the errors without those files. So heres a new set.

Any of that mean anything to ya?

Typedef

Have you checked line 2146 and tried adding a ";" in the relevant place or tried

#define LONG_LONG long;

or finding the definition of LONG_LONG in the pertinent header?

BraveSirAndrew

LONG_LONG does exist, I think it was in wrap_pyhton.h, so I didn't try defining it myself - shouldn't have made a difference. I can't check anything now cus I'm in work. I would have thought that the project would come ready to compile, once all the paths have been added, but that doesn't seem to be the case, unless I'm doing something stupid, which I probably am. Does nobody have any experience with this same problem?

Typedef

I guess that depends on your version of mingw and the libraries you have installed on the target system.
