Well I don't think I can blame anything for being wrong. The problem is that I have the ActiveState versions of Python installed. Those versions are compiled with MSVC. On the last release I did some changes to BB to get MSVC, Mingw, and Cygwin to all compile and link to Python correctly. Except for one aspect, MinGW can't use the python*.lib because it's an MSVC lib. But it can use the python*.dll directly just fine, since it directly read the exported symbols in the DLL. So to get MinGW to work I just disabled, by renaming to python*~~~.lib, the link library. Not sure if there's anything we can, or should, fix though.
Did you read http://boost.org/libs/python/doc/building.html#notes-for-mingw-and-cygwin-wi... and is it relevant to you? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
