Dave, I really need your help with one of the two remaining Python failures with msvc/Boost.Build V2.
The select_from_python_test fails in the recent run with:
.\libs\python\src\converter\type_id.cpp(194) : error C2491: 'boost::python::operator`<<'' : definition of dllimport function not allowed
See:
I don't quite understand what this means and why this happens on one test.
Can you look into this?
It's simple. If you look at the v1 Jamfile you can see that this test depends on the py-unit-test rule, which sets up the necessary requirements (e.g. BOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_LIB). You didn't do the same in Jamfile.v2
You're right, not setting BOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_LIB causes type_id.cpp to try dllimporting a function definition, which does not work. I've fixed this in CVS. - Volodya
