Hey all. I'm working on a project which currently only compiles under MSVC. I wish to port it to compile under GCC via MinGW-w64 also, however I've hit a brick-wall with a slew of compile errors I'm getting when using Boost.Python in my project. I'm not quite sure who's "fault" this problem is... Mine? Boost? GCC? libstdc++? MinGW-w64? Something else?

I'm using TDM-GCC 4.5.1. http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/

Anyway, here is an example build output: http://raptorfactor.privatepaste.com/54e19acdc1

Ignore the errors in the 'MMHelper' project to do with exception routines, they are something else that I already know the cause and solution for. The problem I'm referring to is this one:

I'm at a loss as to how to fix this. I'm suspecting it's a MinGW problem, but I'm unable to find anybody else who has had or is having the same problem...

If anyone could shed some light as to what's going wrong here and how I might fix it I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

It's Python. Out-of-the-box Python 2.7 pyconfig.h on Windows defines hypot as _hypot which subsequently cripples the declaration of hypot in and ultimately breaks the using declaration in <cmath> . A simple fix is to include <cmath> before including . Other than that, you may try configuring python yourself via autoreconf. BTW. nice project. Keep up the good work! -Christopher
