[Boost-users] FW: Linking to static libraries with Bjam

Hi,

 

I am trying to build a boost::python library that uses serialization
using BJAM. Unfortunately I cannot get the Jamfile to accept any
commands to link the static library libboost_serialization.a into my .so
file. I can build simple boost::python libraries but now I need to call
functions/classes in this library from my python wrapped classes.

 

My basic jamfile looks like this:

project-root  ;

 

import python  ;

 

extension MyLib

: MyClass.cpp

<template>@boost/libs/python/build/extension :

;

 

I am running CentOs version 5, 

boost_1_33_1 (unfortunately I cannot upgrade to a later version)

bjam, (built from boost-jam-3.1.18)

 

Currently when I run bjam the environment variable $BOOST_BUILD_PATH is
not set, because of this I believe that bjam is building as "v1".

If I set $ BOOST_BUILD_PATH to ~/boost_1_33_1/tools/build/v2 I can no
longer build even simple examples and I am presented with the errors:

error:  Could not find parent for project at '.'

error: Did not find Jamfile or project-root.jam in any parent directory.

 

If I could get bjam to work with "v2" I believe that I could get syntax
correct for adding the library to Jamfile. 

The directory ~/boost_1_33_1/tools/build/v2 contains:

 site-config.jam which is empty

user-config.jam which has the following lines uncommented:

import toolset : using ;

using gcc ;

using python ;

 

 

Ultimately I would like to be able to build boost python code with make
instead of bjam - has anyone managed this, if so is there an example
makefile anywhere?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards

 

Mark
