Is it possible to use the pre-built binaries with MSVC++ 2005 express edition? I get the following error from bjam when attempting to build the pyd from the source file hello.cpp.

-----------------------------------------------------

hello.cpp has the following code trying to wrap a class

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(hello_ext) { class_<GreetBase>("GreetBase") # line 50 .def("greet", &GreetBase::greet) ; }

--------------------------------------------

hello.cpp(50) : error C2976: 'boost::python::class_' : too few template arguments

C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_35_0\boost/python/def_visitor.hpp(14) : see declaration of 'boost::python::class_'

hello.cpp(50) : error C2440: '<function-style-cast>' : cannot convert from 'const char [10]' to 'boost::python::class_'

Source or target has incomplete type hello.cpp(50) : error C2228: left of '.def' must have class/struct/union

------------------------------------------------ Do I need to rebuild the boost libraries? Would this be expected to fix the problem?

This looks like a failure to include the necessary header files. Try #include "boost/python/class.hpp" at the top of your file. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
