[C++-sig] How to import a boost::python dll in windows?

[fjanoos]

Hi,
I am having a similar problem as the o.p.

I was trying to build Python wrappers for the hello_ext project given in the
boost tutorial using CMake instead of bjam using the instructions as per
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/cplusplus-sig/2007-June/012247.html

The setup is Boost 1.47.0, Python 2.7, Windows 7 x64, MSVC 2008 (9.0) x64. 

After doing CMake and MSVC - it produces a hello_ext.dll. Even if i rename
this to hello_ext.pyd, Python throws the following error. Any suggestions /
ideas ?

Thanks,
-fj
