Hi I've been trying to use either swig or boost.python to wrap some c/c++ code so it can be accessed easily from python. I have had ZERO luck with either.
this is what I have done with boost.python I downloaded the boost library and the bjam library. both are in my C: directory. I then set up the path so that I could do bjam from anywhere suing the coomand prompt. Did the same for python and g++. I'm using the g++ that came with bloodshed DevC++ compiler. So, I navigated myself to the tutorial example in the boost library. C:\boost_1_34_0\libs\python\example\tutorial In the command prompt I typed bjam and I got the following error message. C:\boost_1_34_0\libs\python\example\tutorial>bjam Jamroot:17: in modules.load rule python-extension unknown in module Jamfile</C:/boost_1_34_0/libs/python/example/tutorial>. C:/boost_1_34_0/tools/build/v2/build\project.jam:312: in load-jamfile C:/boost_1_34_0/tools/build/v2/build\project.jam:68: in load C:/boost_1_34_0/tools/build/v2/build\project.jam:170: in project.find C:/boost_1_34_0/tools/build/v2\build-system.jam:237: in load C:\boost_1_34_0\libs\python\example\..\..\..\tools\build\v2/kernel\modules.jam:261: in import C:\boost_1_34_0\libs\python\example\..\..\..\tools\build\v2/kernel/bootstrap.jam:132: in boost-build C:\boost_1_34_0\libs\python\example\boost-build.jam:7: in module scope I've have been trying desperately for 3 days. I also tried swig with similar results but I feel I'm closer to solving the issue with boost than with swig. I'm at a total lost here. I have tried the tutorials in the boost web page but I just don't get anywhere. http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/tutorial/doc/html/python/hello.html with swig I get a similar problem I copied the sample files in their webpage. I then typed swig example.i as describe on the webpage and I het the wrap file as adverticed. The problem comes when I try to compile the two *.c file like this. gcc -c example.c example_wrap.c -I\c:\python25 maybe the -I\c:\python25 is the part that is wrong. Anyways, I get errors galore. The first is that it can't find the Python.h but there are so many errors that it cannot hold them on the screen.
