Hello, I have started working on a new SCons-based build infrastructure for Boost.Python that allows the Boost.Python code to be compiled stand-alone against a pre-installed Boost. I have checked in a first version to the develop branch, and have enabled Travis-CI to use that. While this works reasonably well, and provides a much simpler workflow for developers wanting to contribute to Boost.Python, it isn't (yet) entirely feature-complete. Notably, running this on Windows (using MSVC) produces errors. I'd appreciate any help with this, especially from Windows users who are more familiar with MSVC than I am (that shouldn't be hard, given I have next to no experience with using MSVC :-) ). Building Boost.Python is now very simple: * clone the repo via `git clone https://github.com/boostorg/python.git` and switch to the 'develop' branch * configure a build via `scons config --python=... --boost-prefix=...` * build and test via `scons test` Hopefully this will make it much simpler to contribute and test patches, so we can work down the list of accumulated PRs and issues. (For avoidance of doubt: for the immediate future I have no intentions to replacing the official bjam-based build system. But once the new one has proven to be stable enough, I expect to actually build stand-alone releases for Boost.Python.) Thanks, Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
