i'm having problems w/ vc6 and python.. i'm trying to compile examples\getting_started2.cpp and it compiles , but i get like 23 warnings, and when i throw the getting_started2.dll into the python syspath (specifically in C:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\ ) i get errors form the example\test_getting_started2.py what am i doing wrong? :/ here are the warnings : Compiling... getting_started2.cpp c:\libraries\include\boost\python\detail\types.hpp(37) : warning C4275: non dll-interface struct 'boost::python::detail::base_object<struct _typeobject>' used as base for dll-interface class 'boost::python::detail::type_object_base' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\detail\types.hpp(36) : see declaration of 'type_object_base' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\detail\types.hpp(389) : warning C4251: 'm_storage' : class 'std::vector<struct std::pair<char *,unsigned int>,class std::allocator<struct std::pair<char *,unsigned int> > >' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of class 'boost::python::detail::shared_pod_manager' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\objects.hpp(32) : warning C4251: 'm_p' : class 'boost::python::reference<struct _object>' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of class 'boost::python::object' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\objects.hpp(270) : warning C4251: 'm_dict' : class 'boost::python::reference<struct _object>' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of struct 'boost::python::dictionary_proxy' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\objects.hpp(271) : warning C4251: 'm_key' : class 'boost::python::reference<struct _object>' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of struct 'boost::python::dictionary_proxy' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\objects.hpp(336) : warning C4251: 'm_list' : class 'boost::python::list' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of struct 'boost::python::list_proxy' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\objects.hpp(146) : see declaration of 'list' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\objects.hpp(351) : warning C4251: 'm_list' : class 'boost::python::reference<struct _object>' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of struct 'boost::python::list_slice_proxy' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\classes.hpp(25) : warning C4275: non dll-interface struct 'boost::python::detail::base_object<struct _object>' used as base for dll-interface class 'boost::python::instance' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\classes.hpp(24) : see declaration of 'instance' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\classes.hpp(102) : warning C4251: 'm_name_space' : class 'boost::python::dictionary' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of class 'boost::python::instance' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\objects.hpp(274) : see declaration of 'dictionary' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\classes.hpp(138) : warning C4251: 'm_bases' : class 'boost::python::tuple' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of class 'boost::python::detail::class_base' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\objects.hpp(56) : see declaration of 'tuple' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\classes.hpp(139) : warning C4251: 'm_name_space' : class 'boost::python::dictionary' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of class 'boost::python::detail::class_base' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\objects.hpp(274) : see declaration of 'dictionary' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\detail\functions.hpp(33) : warning C4275: non dll-interface struct 'boost::python::detail::base_object<struct _object>' used as base for dll-interface class 'boost::python::detail::function' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\detail\functions.hpp(32) : see declaration of 'function' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\detail\functions.hpp(49) : warning C4251: 'm_overloads' : class 'boost::python::reference<class boost::python::detail::function>' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of class 'boost::python::detail::fu nction' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\detail\functions.hpp(205) : warning C4275: non dll-interface struct 'boost::python::detail::base_object<struct _object>' used as base for dll-interface class 'boost::python::detail::bound_function' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\detail\functions.hpp(204) : see declaration of 'bound_function' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\detail\functions.hpp(217) : warning C4251: 'm_target' : class 'boost::python::reference<struct _object>' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of class 'boost::python::detail::bound_function' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\detail\functions.hpp(218) : warning C4251: 'm_unbound_function' : class 'boost::python::reference<struct _object>' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of class 'boost::python::detail::bound_function' c:\libraries\include\boost\python\detail\extension_class.hpp(68) : warning C4251: 'm_wrapped_objects' : class 'std::vector<class boost::python::detail::instance_holder_base *,class std::allocator<class boost::python::detail::instance_holder_base *>
