Thanks for response. I tried with BCB6 with the same results. So i assume i must use Microsoft or devc++ (MinGW port). However the *.dsp file which should be OK for VS6.0 fail to open. VS60 says it is not Developer Studio 6.0 project and refuses to open it. In my next step i converted the given *.dsp file to BCB 6.0 project file. I had to add same paths to the project and it almost compiled. I get an error: [C++ Error] handle.hpp(77): E2285 Could not find a match for 'detail::manage_ptr<T>(_object *,int)' Well, i havent found any manage_ptr too in boost nor Python nor STL directories.... so i got stuck. Maybe someone have an idea? The second question is: which compiler is best for compiling the Python.Boost (DevC++ = MinGW ? or VisualC++2002 or Visual C++ 2003?). I think once i have the dll's i can incorporate it into my applications written in BCB. The third question is: Is there a binary distribution of the Boost libs. I'am talking about the sublibriaries that require it (Python, Threads, Regex, and so on)(Regex however works good with Borland compilers).

Hi! I cant compile the Boost.Python library. I use Borland C++ Builder 5 (WinXP Pro). I tried really everything. I get always a LOT of errors.
That's because Borland C++'s template machinery is so badly broken that I've never seen it as worthwhile to find workarounds for all of the problems. A guy named Chris Trengrove was apparently working on a port some time ago which seemed to have promise but he never ended up posting results: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/1573361 -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com Info: <http://www.boost.org> Wiki: <http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl> Unsubscribe: <mailto:boost-users-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com> Your use of Yahoo!
