Firstly .. I apologise for posting my original mail here , I think I should have emailed to the Python list. As for following the advice at http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/tutorial/doc/html/python/hello.html ..err no ... I did not I'm afraid, but on the other hand I am using scons as my underlying build system. However I did manage to solve my problem, be it not in the most elegant way. Under Cygwin I built my Boost Python libraries with the line : bjam --with--python which gave me two boost_python libraries in /usr/local/lib (as well as others) libboost_python-gcc-mt-d-1_33_1.a libboost_python-gcc-mt-d-1_33_1.dll When I was compiling with the g++ command below line I was getting my errors. BUT when I renamed libboost_python-gcc-mt-d-1_33_1.a to libboost_python-gcc-mt-d-1_33_1.axx ( at this point I did not want to actualy delete the static library) the compilation was successful. So I can only conclude that by default I was linking to the static library, and there was something wrong with the doing that. Since I only ever wanted to link to the dll anyway ..... this solution suffices.

My compile command line is :

Then there are ALOT of errors
