My os is linux.
The libboost_python.so works fine. But we want to statically compile our
software with boost.python, so it will not ask our end user to install
libboost_python first, just to minimize the dependency. We have a dozen of
dependency libraries. All other I can make their static library compiled
with '-fPIC' CFLAGS, since they use MAKEFILE instead of jamfile.
