[C++-sig] Problem Crosscompiling boost python modules

[Simon Norberg]

Hello,
I am trying to crosscompile my boost-python module with mingw creating a 
windows module. After alot of problems trying to cross compile boost 
python i got it pre compiled from http://gforge.inria.fr/frs/?group_id=79.
I can crosscompile this small test code :
http://pastebin.com/f569662b8
with
i586-mingw32msvc-g++ hello.cpp -shared -o hello.pyd 
-I/usr/local/i586-mingw32/include/soci/ 
-I/usr/local/i586-mingw32/include/soci/sqlite3/ 
-I/usr/local/i586-mingw32/include -I /usr/local/i586-mingw32/include/ -I 
/usr/local/i586-mingw32/include/python/ -I

/usr/local/i586-mingw32/lib/libsoci_sqlite3-gcc-2_2.a 
/usr/local/i586-mingw32/lib/libsqlite3.a 
/usr/local/i586-mingw32/lib/libpython25.a 
/usr/local/i586-mingw32/lib/boost_python-mgw.a

but this test code: http://pastebin.com/f32c03a4e
compiled with:
i586-mingw32msvc-g++ test_db.cpp -shared -o test_db.pyd 
-I/usr/local/i586-mingw32/include/soci/ 
-I/usr/local/i586-mingw32/include/soci/sqlite3/

/usr/local/i586-mingw32/lib/libpython25.a

Any hints on whats wrong i highly appreciated, I have  worked with 
getting boost python to cross compile all day :(
The version of mingw-g++ is i586-mingw32msvc-g++ (GCC) 3.4.5 (mingw 
special)
got it with apt-get in Debian Etch
