[C++-sig] Boost.Python and STLPort, ArgumentError

[Simon Pickles]

Hello Nikolay,

Thanks for the reply.

I _think_ it is built with stlport. I rebuilt boost.python with my 
user-config.jam changed and the stdlib=stlport option. It generated new 
libraries with the 'p' suffix (for stlport)

When I bjammed my c++ extension module, I had to link to the 
boost_python-xxx-gdp.lib files and it required the dll counterparts to 
build and run....

Perhaps I need to build my project with:

bjam define=__STL_DEBUG stdlib=stlport

I will try on the train home :)

Thanks

Simon
