Hello all,
I am trying to install the Boost.Python library (and then compile C++
python extensions after that) using cygwin and am not having much luck.
I know I have the main part of boost working because I was able to
compile and run the basic example for testing the boost configuration.
Then to install Boost.Python I did the following:
$ ./configure -with-libraries=python
This generates the following output:
Building Boost.Jam with toolset gcc... tools/jam/src/bin.cygwinx86/bjam
Detecting Python version... 2.5
Detecting Python root... c:\Python25
Unicode/ICU support for Boost.Regex?... not found.
Backing up existing Boost.Build configuration in user-config.jam.2
Generating Boost.Build configuration in user-config.jam...
Generating Makefile...
I then type "make install", which generates the following output:
./tools/jam/src/bin.cygwinx86/bjam --user-config=user-config.jam
--prefix=/usr/local --exec-prefix=
/usr/local --libdir=/usr/local/lib --includedir=/usr/local/include
--with-python install
WARNING: No python installation configured and autoconfiguration
failed. See http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/building.html
for configuration instructions or pass --without-python to
suppress this message and silently skip all Boost.Python
targets
warning: Python location is not configured
warning: the Boost.Python library won't be built

...found 7812 targets...
Those warnings look rather problematic. And indeed, when I try to
compile the basic example (/boost_1_34_0/libs/python/example/tutorial)
by typing "bjam target-os=cygwin toolset=gcc", I get the following
errors:
Jamroot:17: in modules.load

Any ideas? Am I missing something obvious? Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks,
