Hi, I have a problem with Boost.Python, mingw and bjam not working together, and apparently it is jam that is the issue - or rather, it's rules. The root of the problem seems to be that initmodule function doesn't get exported and I have absolutely no idea what causes this (and even if I had, I propably wouldn't know how to fix it, jam is pretty much dark magic for me :)) (Warning, lots of noise follows.) Manual compilation (which, amazingly, works): E:\boost_1_33_1\libs\python\example\tutorial>g++ hello.cpp -g -O0 -shared -Ic:\boost\include\boost-1_33_1 -Ic:\python24\include -Lc:\boost\lib -lpython24 -lboost_python-mgw-d -o hello.pyd E:\boost_1_33_1\libs\python\example\tutorial>python Python 2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
