After googling a bit, it seems that __int64 is a MSVC type. So, it's unclear to me if I am getting this error because the default python on windows is compiled with msvc, or because boost.python only supports msvc and not mingw. I tried looking at different documentation, mingw seems to be explicitely supported by boost in general. Could someone give me a hint on how to compile boost.python with mingw or tell me if it's impossible ? cheers, Philippe Philippe Fremy wrote:

Hi,

bjam does not seem to pick my python installation on windows.

This is running on Windows XP, toolset gcc, boost 1.39, compiling from source with no changes.

D:\program\boost_1_39_0>bjam --debug-configuration -d+2 --debug-building [...] notice: [python-cfg] running command '"C:\Python25\python" -c "from sys import *; print 'version=%d.%d\nplatform=%s\nprefix=%s\nexec_prefix=%s\nexecutable=%s' % (version_info[0],version_info[1],platform,prefix,exec_prefix,executable)" 2>&1'notice: [python-cfg] ...does not invoke a working interpreter

notice: [python-cfg] No working Python interpreter found.

The strange thing is that if I run the same command line, it works perfectly: D:\program\boost_1_39_0>"C:\Python25\python" -c "from sys import *; print 'version=%d.%d\nplatform=%s\nprefix=%s\nexec_prefix=%s\nexecutable=%s' % (version_info[0],version_info[1],platform,prefix,exec_prefix,executable)" 2>&1 version=2.5

platform=win32

prefix=C:\Python25

exec_prefix=C:\Python25

executable=C:\Python25\python.exe

Any idea what confuses bjam ?

I could not find any log file to see more details of what is going wrong... Could you please try 1.40 alpha:

There are different next steps depending on whether it works or not.

It works with 1.40 !

Now, I am seeing a big set of compilation errors:

C:/Python25/Include/longobject.h:47: error: `__int64' does not name a type In file included from ./boost/python/converter/arg_to_python.hpp:17,

from ./boost/python/list.hpp:10,

from libs\python\src\list.cpp:5:

./boost/python/converter/builtin_converters.hpp:119: error: missing `>' to terminate the template argument list

This is stock python 2.5 with mingw gcc 3.4.2 . Should I upgrade gcc ? Or is stock python incompatible with mingw ?

cheers,

Philippe

hi, thanks for ur answer, yes i've seem i tried with 3.5 because 4.0 does not work either, i built it following the "getting started guide" , i put below the result using the 4.0 do i missing link something? thnaks pdro7@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ c++ -I /home/pdro7/Desktop/boost_1_40_0 asio1.cpp -o asio1 boost_1_40_0/prefixes/lib/libboost_serialization.a boost_1_40_0/prefixes/lib/libboost_system.a boost_1_40_0/prefixes/lib/libboost_thread.a boost_1_40_0/prefixes/lib/libboost_date_time.a boost_1_40_0/prefixes/lib/libboost_regex.a /tmp/ccY6pBeJ.o: In function `boost::asio::detail::posix_tss_ptr

If you are using python built with MSVC (e.g., the Windows python binaries at python.org), you will be unable use it with mingw (due to conflicting run-time library requirements. You can still use mingw-built boost.python with mingw python.

It is definitely possible. For linking with the Python Runtime library, you'll need a mingw compatible libpython25.a file. Since the Python you've installed is compiled using MSVC, it will have only the MSVC .lib library file. So you need to create your own libpython25.a file and link to it, and it would work. Look at the step 2 here: http://sebsauvage.net/python/mingw.html to see how to make your own .a file. The page is slightly outdated, but the procedure remains the same. Just make the required changes in the file names. Hope this helps.
