Hi,
Started to explore boost.Python to use C++ classes (.so or .dll) from
Python world.
I did these, (Windows)
downloaded boost 1.54 and unpacked to C:\boost_1_54, Python 3.3 (earlier
tried with Python 2.7)
installed visuall C++ 2010 Express free edition
From Visual studio command prompt, tested example.cpp and got the result.
Now struck in getting hellp.cpp and to generate hello_ext.pyd.
Looked at posts in stackoverflow and tried similar steps. Still the same.
After unpacking boost1.54, I tried these
<boost root>
C:\boost_1_54>bootstrap.bat
C:\boost_1_54>b2
Now it said add C:\boost_1_54 to compiler include path and
add c:\boost_1_54\stage\lib to linker paths.
Added these two paths to %PATH% environment variable thru advanced settings.
Now ran bjam from hello tutorial
C:\boost_1_54\libs\python\example\tutorial>bjam
hello_ext.pyd is not generated
And noted this
"LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file
