I'm trying to link my Python extension module with static version of Boost::Python library.
According to documentation, the auto_link facility should by default supply the library for static linking (libboost_python-vc80-mt-gd-1_38.lib in my case). Unfortunately it doesn't work that way for me - I get the import lib by default and have to supply boost_python dll.
If I specifically provide the statically linked lib to the linker I get errors that symbols are defined multiple times by both the static library and the import library.
I was able to link statically by: - defining BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB, - defining BOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_LIB, - adding libboost_python-vc80-mt-gd-1_38.lib to link libraries.
While this worked I have a strong feeling that it's not the way it was meant to be. Defining BOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_LIB should be enough.
