Hi Bernard. I followed these instructions: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#or-simplified-build-from-source
After you run 'bootstrap' you get 'bjam' if I recall correctly. I installed it from source with just these steps. I did fiddle around to get dlls - possibly I used: "bjam --build-type=complete stage" and then confirmed that dlls appreared in the stage\lib directory. You can see my siteconf.py in this problem report (which I've yet to resolve because I'm not back at that office yet): http://tiker.net/pipermail/pycuda_tiker.net/2010-January/000866.html Have you seen the build instructions in the wiki? http://wiki.tiker.net/PyCuda/Installation/Windows HTH, Ian. 2010/1/11 Bernard Van Der Stichele <[email protected]> > > > Ian, > > Thanks for the suggestion.
