Hello, I am trying to build the Python library for Boost 1.74.0 on macOS Catalina 10.15.8 with the default Clang 11.0.3. I also installed Python 3.7.9 from python.org
I am following the instructions located at <https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_74_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html#easy-build-and-install> and <https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_74_0/libs/python/doc/html/building/installing_boost_python_on_your_.html> I untar the archive and then execute this command in the boost directory: ./bootstrap.sh --with-python=python3.7 --with-libraries=python This gives me output saying that it detected python 3.7. *****BEGIN OUTPUT***** Building Boost.Build engine with toolset clang... tools/build/src/engine/b2 Detecting Python version... 3.7 Detecting Python root... /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7 Unicode/ICU support for Boost.Regex?... not found. Backing up existing Boost.Build configuration in project-config.jam.1 Generating Boost.Build configuration in project-config.jam for clang... Bootstrapping is done. To build, run: ./b2 To generate header files, run: ./b2 headers To adjust configuration, edit 'project-config.jam'. Further information: - Command line help: ./b2 --help - Getting started guide: http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html - Boost.Build documentation: http://www.boost.org/build/ *****END OUTPUT***** Then, I run sudo ./b2 --with-python However, when it builds the libraries, it saves it with a folder path that has 2.7, and I get files such as libboost_python27.dylib. *****BEGIN OUTPUT***** In file included from /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/numpy/core/include/numpy/ufuncobject.h:327: *****END OUTPUT***** /System/Library is where the default macOS Python 2.7 is stored. How can I convince Boost to use the Python 3.7 that I installed, instead of the default Python 2.7? It looked like it detected it in bootstrap, but it doesn't use it later. Is the way that I specified the desired python executable correct? Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.
