Thanks for response. I tried with BCB6 with the same results. So i assume i must use Microsoft or devc++ (MinGW port).
Or regular MinGW, or Metrowerks, or Intel, or Cygwin GCC or a variety of other compilers on other platforms.
However the *.dsp file which should be OK for VS6.0 fail to open. VS60 says it is not Developer Studio 6.0 project and refuses to open it. In my next step i converted the given *.dsp file to BCB 6.0 project file. I had to add same paths to the project and it almost compiled. I get an error:
[C++ Error] handle.hpp(77): E2285 Could not find a match for 'detail::manage_ptr<T>(_object *,int)'
Well, i havent found any manage_ptr too in boost nor Python nor STL directories.... so i got stuck.
Maybe someone have an idea?
Use Boost.Build. That's the most-reliable way and works with many many more compilers.
The second question is: which compiler is best for compiling the Python.Boost (DevC++ = MinGW ? or VisualC++2002 or Visual C++ 2003?). I think once i have the dll's i can incorporate it into my applications written in BCB.
Any of those will work, including vc6.
The third question is: Is there a binary distribution of the Boost libs. I'am talking about the sublibriaries that require it (Python, Threads, Regex, and so on)(Regex however works good with Borland compilers).
