creating a custom build, I get lots of compiler errors during Boost.Python compilation. Some of these compiler errors are: Unfortunately, Boost.Python isn't supported on BCB, AFAIK.
I wonder what special language constructs Boost.Python uses to fail on BCB and to work fine on MSVC++ and GCC (at least the documentation says so).
Nothing. BCB's template handling is so ridiculously flaky that it's really easy to fail.
Maybe I'll have a closer look on the sources this weekend. But this incompatibility should at least be noted within the documentation to save guys like me a whole day trying to get Boost.Python built (I always thought I do something wrong). ;-)
It's noted at http://www.boost.org/regression-logs, which is where you go to find out about compiler support for any given library. I didn't want to try to list every compiler it *doesn't* work with, because I don't know about every compiler. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
