Boost Python and VC7.1 ( Everett )

Since we switched our projects to the new VC7.1 C++ Compiler ( MSVC 1310 ) recently i am not able to compile Boost Python anymore. The question is, if that's not supported at all, or if there is a workaround to do this. ( Compiling with VC7.0 works fine for me ) I upgraded to the most recent CVS version of Boost today, but still no luck ( using bjam "-sTOOLS=vc7" ) at least it does not spit out a "Unknown compiler version" warning anymore.... Any clues? Thanks, Bernhard Glueck [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Please tell me how to UNSUBSRIBE to Boost. My mail box
is getting cluttered with mails

Don't use a compiler that hasn't been released yet :-) OK back in the real world, I've just patched boost.config to support VC7.1, but only on the RC_1_29_0 branch - I assume that the changes will be merged back into the main trunk after release? I admit I haven't tested boost.python with that compiler, but pretty well everything else passes ... John Maddock http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/john_maddock/index.htm

I've never tested Boost.Python v1 with vc7.1, but I have been testing and developing Boost.Python v2 under Everett; everything works fine. I have no plans to try to backport v1 to any new compilers, especially since Boost.Python v1 relies on non-conforming C++ techniques (sorry). Boost 1.29.0 , due in a couple of weeks, will contain only Boost.Python v2 (and an archive version of Boost.Python v1 for those who are slow to make the transition). -Dave -- ----------------------------------------------------------- David Abrahams * Boost Consulting dave@boost-consulting.com * http://www.boost-consulting.com
