Problem when installing Boost.Python

[Wenlong Wang]

Hi, All

 

I'm not sure if am asking in the right place, but since this is Python
related, I'd like to try it out.

 

My setup is Windows7 64-bit, Python 2.7 64bit, Boost 1.54, Visual Studio
2012 Express Version 64bit.

 

I am a beginner of Python, and am trying to bridge Python and C++. Thus
I download the Boost library.

 

I followed the instruction here:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/more/getting_started/windows.html

 

And successfully installed the Basic Boost. 

 

Then I found that Boost.Python requires a separately installation,
according to another instruction here:

 

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/libs/python/doc/building.html

 

I am stuck at step 3.1.4 where the instruction says to run a example:

 

4.      Invoke bjam. Replace the "stage" argument from the example
invocation from section 5 of the Getting Started Guide
<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/more/getting_started/index.html>
with "test," to build all the test targets. Also add the argument
"--verbose-test" to see the output generated by the tests when they are
run.

On Windows, your bjam invocation might look something like:

C:\boost_1_34_0\...\quickstart> bjam toolset=msvc --verbose-test test
 

When I input the command line above, I have 135 unresolved external
errors! One of them is like follows:

 

exec.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
__imp__PyEval_GetGlobals referenced in function 

"class boost::python::api::object __cdecl boost::python::eval(class
boost::python::str,class boost::python::api::object,

class
boost::python::api::object)"(?eval at python@boost@@YA?AVobject at api@12 at Vstr
@12 at V3412@1 at Z)

..\..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\python\build\msvc-11.0\debug\boost_python-vc110-
gd-1_54.dll 

 

I know this is more C++, however, I guess someone in this mailing list
may have experienced with Boost.Python. My apologies if this mail
bothers you.

 

Can anyone help me to work around this?

 

Thank you!

 

Regards

Long
