[C++-sig] Full Cross-Module Support for Boost Python on Windows (original) (raw)

Hi all,

I am new to Python and just recently started using boost python to create some wrappers for some C++ static libraries. I have been able to get most everything to work from the documentation and community examples. Thank you for your efforts.

The one issue that I am still hitting is full cross module support for boost wrapped modules running on windows. I've looked through the past discussions

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/cplusplus-sig/2005-August/009135.html

and have seen conclusions and solutions for platforms other than windows but have not been able to find a message summarizing a solution on windows. The last discussion that I was able to find was from January of last year

Unfortunately, our build system is using an older version of the boost libraries; 1.34. I am trying to convince our CM team to upgrade them to the latest, but I am getting some push back because of a compatibility issue with the latest regex boost library. Our standard for Python (2.4.1.) is also a little out of date because of reluctance to move by our QA folks.

Does anyone know the current state for the full cross-module support on the windows platform? Has this been solved by anyone? Am I still having problems because of older libraries?

Thanks,

Del Robins
