(note that that there is a mailing list specifically for boost python:
c++-sig_at_[hidden] which will generally give you faster response on
bp questions)
This worked for me in January (Linux FC3):
1) build jam:
~/install/boost_1_33_1/tools/build/jam_src phil_at_gull% sh ./build.sh
2) export python variables
export PYTHON_VERSION=2.4
export PYTHON_ROOT=/home/phil/usr242
3) run all tests
cd ~/install/boost_1_33_1/libs/python/test
~/install/boost_1_33_1/tools/build/jam_src/bin.linuxx86/bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" test
or a single test:
~/install/boost_1_33_1/tools/build/jam_src/bin.linuxx86/bjam -d2 "-sTOOLS=gcc" numpy
(the -d2 lets you see the compile flags bjam is using)
4) move the library (for my own work I just use make and the flags I get from step 3)
cp -a \
/home/phil/install/boost_1_33_1/bin/boost/libs/python/build/libboost_python.so/gcc/debug/shared-linkable-true \
/home/phil/lib/boost_lib_1_33_1/debug
best, Phil Austin
