I'm having some problems moving from boost 1.33.1 to 1.34.0. More specifically my python extension isn't linking anymore:

Undoubtedly you're missing a source file. I see you're using the VS IDE. What happens when you follow the directions at http://boost.org/libs/python/doc/building.html ?

Just to make sure that there's no trivial misunderstanding: I've built all of boost (that needs to be built) up front using Boost.Build and then linked against the output of that. Given that, could I still be missing a source file and what did we learn from the quickstart example working? The output of dumpbin from my original post also seems to suggest that the file is actually built.

We learned that you're building your own extension module or application differently than Boost.Build is... or there's just a bug in the vc9 linker.

I've looked at the output of -a -ofilename as suggested in the Building and Test HOWTO but I can't really say that I see any difference that matters.

I suggest looking harder. If that doesn't work, replace the quickstart example code with your code and see if it works through Boost.Build. HTH, -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com The Astoria Seminar ==> http://www.astoriaseminar.com
