hello
I'm entirely new to boost and also to python...
For my first step I'm still having troubles for compiling my c++ code.
just including
leads my gcc to output these errors. g++ -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -oEnvPython.o ../EnvPython.cpp In file included from /usr/include/boost/python/detail/prefix.hpp:13, from /usr/include/boost/python/args.hpp:8, from /usr/include/boost/python.hpp:11, from ../EnvPython.h:4, from ../EnvPython.cpp:1:
/usr/include/boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp:50:23: error: pyconfig.h: No such file or directory /usr/include/boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp:74:24: error: patchlevel.h: No such file or directory /usr/include/boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp:77:2: error: #error Python 2.2 or higher is required for this version of Boost.Python. /usr/include/boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp:141:21: error: Python.h: No such file or directory ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
( and then a thousand lines of errors...)
I didn't manually build boost and boost.python. I'm running Debian, and I have the corresponding .so files for boost and python in my usr/lib. I have python 2.3 2.4 and 2.5 installed.
Looks like Debian isn't set up to make the Python header files available for inclusion without qualification. Try following the first few examples in the Python (not Boost) 'C' API documentation. If you see the same problems, e.g. Python.h: No such file or directory Then you need to take this issue up with the Python and/or Debian folks. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
