Hello all,
We are adding a python scripting layer on top of an existing largish C++ app, and are hoping to use Boost.Python to accomplish this. So far, it's hasn't been going very smoothly, but I think we are nearly to the point of getting the demo program to compile. For the most part, we are following the instructions here: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/libs/python/doc/building.html but have also had to use hints from here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2629421/how-to-use-boost-in-visual-st udio-2010 and several other forums to get as far as we have (who / where should we report manual errors to?). I don't think we are doing anything non-standard - we certainly aren't trying to - but perhaps some of the issues we are seeing come from using Python 3.2. To complete the list, we are also using MSVC 10.0 SP1 and Boost 1.47 on Windows 7 32-bit platform. Currently, we are trying to get the "quickstart" example working and are stuck on an error in the build of "embedding.cpp": (note that for clarity I've rerun the build a second time so that it is only trying to build the failed modules) ........................................................................ ...............

With all the templates and overloads, this is getting too technical for to solve here. I am hoping someone here will recognize this error or understand what's causing it. Thanks in advance for any help or guidance anyone is able to give. Paul Kroitor
