I seem to have a problem similar to the one first spoke about in this thread, however I have it with the version 1.4.0.I try co compile boost_python library with MinGW under XP. Here is the command I use : E:\PySide_dev\boost_1_40_0>bjam toolset=gcc --with-python --debug-configuration stage And here is a part of the output I get : notice: [python-cfg] Registry indicates Python 2.5 installed at "E:\Program File s\pythonxy\python\" notice: [python-cfg] Checking interpreter command "python"... notice: [python-cfg] running command 'DIR /-C /A:S "E:\Program Files\pythonxy\py thon\python.exe" 2>&1' notice: [python-cfg] running command '"python" -c "from sys import *; print 'ver sion=%d.%d\nplatform=%s\nprefix=%s\nexec_prefix=%s\nexecutable=%s' % (version_in fo[0],version_info[1],platform,prefix,exec_prefix,executable)" 2>&1' notice: [python-cfg] ...does not invoke a working interpreter notice: [python-cfg] Checking interpreter command "E:\Program Files\pythonxy\pyt hon\python"... notice: [python-cfg] running command 'DIR /-C /A:S "E:\Program Files\pythonxy\py thon\python.exe" 2>&1' notice: [python-cfg] running command '"E:\Program Files\pythonxy\python\python" -c "from sys import *; print 'version=%d.%d\nplatform=%s\nprefix=%s\nexec_prefix =%s\nexecutable=%s' % (version_info[0],version_info[1],platform,prefix,exec_pref ix,executable)" 2>&1' notice: [python-cfg] ...does not invoke a working interpreter notice: [python-cfg] No working Python interpreter found. notice: [python-cfg] running command 'DIR /-C /A:S "E:\Program Files\pythonxy\py thon\python.exe" 2>&1' notice: [python-cfg] falling back to "python" notice: [python-cfg] Details of this Python configuration: notice: [python-cfg] interpreter command: "python" notice: [python-cfg] include path: "Include" notice: [python-cfg] library path: "\libs" notice: [python-cfg] DLL search path: "<empty>" WARNING: No python installation configured and autoconfiguration failed. See http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/building.html for configuration instructions or pass --without-python to suppress this message and silently skip all Boost.Python targets Notice that the informations obtained from the command '"E:\Program Files\pythonxy\python\python" -c "from sys import *; print 'version=%d.%d\nplatform=%s\nprefix=%s\nexec_prefix =%s\nexecutable=%s' % (version_info[0],version_info[1],platform,prefix,exec_pref ix,executable)" 2>&1' are correct. Any idea how to solve this? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Problem-detecting-python-tp25153064p25670428.html Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
