Dear All,
Could anybody give an update on the status of the Python port? I
assume that the Wiki page
https://trac.lvk.cs.msu.su/boost.build/wiki/PythonPort/Status is not
up-to-date as the last update was 5 years ago.
I recently checked out the latest version of the source code (nightly)
and when following the instructions on the Wiki at
https://trac.lvk.cs.msu.su/boost.build/wiki/PythonPort/Quickstart I
got a segmentation fault. It seems to have been fixed now but I was
wondering about the current state of development and whether it is
ongoing.
I am hoping that the Python port can drive a more adoption of
Boost.Build as it is without doubt the best tool available to build
C++ code.
Thank you very much in advance.
right now Python port is in the third state -- it passes most of unit tests, actually faster
than Jam version, but it can't yet be used to build all of Boost C++ Libraries. The biggest problem,
ironically, is making Boost.Python build (it has pretty complicated setup).
I did not have much time to work on that recently, and help would be certainly welcome. It still
appears like the best future path.
