[C++-sig] How to compile Boost.Python for 32bit on 64bit Linux

[Philipp Münzel]

Nevermind, got the python build problem solved.
Apparently, I have to specify CFLAGS=-m32 instead of OPT=-m32 on my
platform.

Now I have a working 32bit installation of pyhton under /opt/pym32/

I now created a file named user-config.jam with the following content:

using python : : /opt/pym32/bin/python ;

as in the link posted by Charles.
But the build still fails mentioning
"In file included from /usr/include/python2.6/Python.h:58:0,"
so obviously the user-config.jam isn't being observed.

Oh well, I just wanted to give boost.python a try and now I'm again
spending a whole afternoon figuring out the different platform nightmares :(
