Errors compiling Boost.Python library on Solaris
Hi, I'm new to this list and to Boost. I'm interested in using Boost to wrap C++ objects in Python. The environment is Solaris 10, x86. I did the following: Downloaded boost_1_33_1.tar and extracted it to /opt/boost.
setenv PYTHON_ROOT /usr/local cd to /opt/boost/boost_1_33_1/libs/python/build bjam
I get lots of error messages, repeated throughout the compile and tend to be grouped and refer to the same line: '->' cannot appear in a constant-expression '&' cannot appear in a constant-expression template argument 1 is invalid value is not a member of '<declaration errors>' ...failed gcc-C++-action ... is also associated with the above If I "bjam" from /opt/boost/boost_1_33_1, I get the same errors when it gets to the python library. I would most appreciate any help with this! Regards, Chris Botos

http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-RC_1_33_0/user/python.... shows that the library worked on SunOS with gcc-3.4.3 Details about that tester's setup are at: http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-RC_1_33_0/CalebEpstein...

What version of Solaris and gcc are you using? Can you include *actual* error messages with actual filenames and line numbers to help diagnose the problem? I'm currently running the RC-1_34_0 and CVS-HEAD regression tests on a Solaris/x86 system with gcc 4.1.1. I am pretty sure gcc 3.4.x will work fine as well, but 3.3.x has issues with wide strings and I/O streams unless you are on Solaris 10 IIRC. Here's my current config: http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-RC_1_34_0/developer/su... The links Dave gives for Boost 1.33.0 are from a Solaris/SPARC machine to which I no longer have access. -- Caleb Epstein

Caleb and Dave, Thanks so much for your replies! I didn't see them until this weekend, so I hadn't responded sooner. Being unable to get Boost to compile, and needing to get some Python extensions working right away, I started using SWIG, which so far has met my basic needs. What version of Solaris and gcc are you using? Solaris 10/x86 gcc 3.4.3 Can you include
*actual* error messages with actual filenames and line numbers to help diagnose the problem?
I attached the full output from bjam. I'm not sure when I will be able to get back to Boost. It may depend on whether I run into SWIG limitations. Regards, Chris

Thanks for looking at this and the info, Caleb. I'll see about about upgrading gcc and giving it another try. - Chris
