Hi everyone,
thanks to hints on this list I've now got a working build of boost.python.
I built the hello world exmaple (using the jam-file) and ran the
testsuite with success.
Now I want to get used to boost.python by exporting a few functions of a
C++ lib I'm working on. This lib uses make as buildtool. Therefore I
want to know how to setup a Makefile for boost.python.
To start from ground up, I just took the example source code from
libs/python/example/tutorial/hello.cpp and tried to compile and link it
as a shared library. Unfortunately, there remain undefined symbols,
which is why it cannot be loaded as python module.
My boost installation is under /usr/local and is built in system layout
as static libraries (libboost_x.a).
