Hello,
I'm new to boost and did sucessfully complete the installation of boost and
the boost.python hello world example. However, I'm wondering how to wrap a shared library I get as a binary and a header file to access it. Can anyone point me to any documentation about this?
little example:
I own a library "mylib.dll" and a header file "mylib.h" without any source
code for my platform. Now I'd like to build a python wrapper to access this mylib.dll. I already wrote a "mywrapper.cpp" that includes the mylib.h file. But however bjam tries to build a mylib.pyd instead of using just the dll.
can anyone help me with this?
thank you

I'm not sure if this will help but I had a similar problem.
in the jamfile I had to add a reference to my external library
here is what it looks like...
extension journal_ext # Declare a Python extension called journal_ext : src/journal_ext.cpp
# requirements and dependencies for Boost.Python extensions <template>@boost/libs/python/build/extension : <library-file>/a_path/libboost_log-gcc-1_33_1.so ############################## THIS LINE HERE ;
Thank you for your advice, that helped much...I got it running now. Kind regards, Michael
