Hi,

  Started to explore boost.Python to use C++ classes (.so or .dll) from
Python world.

  I did these, (Windows)

  downloaded boost 1.54 and unpacked to C:\boost_1_54, Python 3.3 (earlier
tried with Python 2.7)
  installed visuall C++ 2010 Express free edition

  From Visual studio command prompt, tested example.cpp and got the result.

  Now struck in getting hellp.cpp and to generate hello_ext.pyd.
  Looked at posts in stackoverflow and tried similar steps. Still the same.

  After unpacking boost1.54, I tried these

  <boost root>
  C:\boost_1_54>bootstrap.bat
  C:\boost_1_54>b2
  Now it said add C:\boost_1_54 to compiler include path and
   add c:\boost_1_54\stage\lib to linker paths.

Added these two paths to %PATH% environment variable thru advanced settings.

Now ran bjam from hello tutorial

C:\boost_1_54\libs\python\example\tutorial>bjam

hello_ext.pyd is not generated

And noted this
"LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file
'boost_python-vc100-mt-gd-1_54.lib'

If this is basic question, please answer.
Or else please direct to appropriate Boost mailing list
