[Boost-users] [Boost.Python/Bjam] How to wrap a binary only dll ?

Hello,

I'm new to boost and did sucessfully complete the installation of boost and the boost.python hello world example. However, I'm wondering how to wrap a shared library I get as a binary and a header file to access it. Can anyone point me to any documentation about this?

little example:

I own a library "mylib.dll" and a header file "mylib.h" without any source code for my platform. Now I'd like to build a python wrapper to access this mylib.dll. I already wrote a "mywrapper.cpp" that includes the mylib.h file. But however bjam tries to build a mylib.pyd instead of using just the dll.

can anyone help me with this?

thank you

Michael
