#5877: Ambiguous call building Boost.Python quickstart example

     Type:  Bugs                  |      Status:  new    
Milestone:  To Be Determined      |   Component:  None   
  Version:  Boost 1.47.0          |    Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  quickstart ambiguous  |  
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
 If I use .\b2 to do a build of plain vanilla Boost 1.47 on 32-bit Windows
 7 using Python 3.2 and MSVC 10.0 SP1, it completes without error. I then
 add the lib= and include= environment variables as instructed at the end
 of the build, and CD to the python quickstart example.

 When I then use b2 to build the quickstart example, it fails with:

 {{{
 embedding.cpp
 embedding.cpp(39) : error C2668:

         ]

 '(boost::python::detail::method_
 result)'
 }}}
 and

 {{{
 embedding.cpp(56) : error C2065: 'initembedded_hello' : undeclared
 identifier
 }}}

 Of course, the second error may be caused by the first.

 listing.
