Hi,
 I am reasonably sure that this is due to  omission in the configuration file.
I checkout from the trunk and all compilation went without problem.
But the hello world example within the boost.python is failing with error:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'boost_python-vc80-mt-gd-1_38.lib'

        call "f:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86 >nul
link /NOLOGO /INCREMENTAL:NO /DLL /DEBUG /subsystem:console /out:"bin\msvc-8.0\debug\hello_ext.pyd" /IMPLIB:"bin\msvc-8.0\debug\hello_ext.lib" /LIBPATH:"F:\CodeBase\Libs\Python-2.5.2\PCbuild8\win32release"   @"bin\msvc-8.0\debug\hello_ext.pyd.rsp"
    ....
    ....
From what I can make that LIBPATH doesn't have path to boost_python-vc80-mt-gd-1_38.lib.
The lib in question is build at its requisite place.  Appreciate any help.

Thanks
