I'm trying to compile the example from the Boost Python docs without
success.
hello.cpp:
#include <boost/python.hpp>
char const * const greet() {
return "hello, world";
}
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(hello_ext) {
using namespace boost::python;
def("greet", greet);
}
I have Boost 1.48, Python 2.7, and gcc 4.7.0.
When I do this:
g++ -fPIC -I/usr/include/python2.7 -c -o hello.o hello.cpp
I get the following errors:

/usr/include/boost/python/detail/unwind_type.hpp:165:72: note: types âU*â
and âconst char* constâ have incompatible cv-qualifiers
It looks like the salient error is this one:
/usr/include/boost/python/detail/invoke.hpp:75:19: error: no match for call to
â(const
boost::python::detail::specify_a_return_value_policy_to_wrap_functions_returning<const
char* const>) (const char*)â
but the Boost Python tutorial didn't mention the need to specify a
return value policy for the "hello world" example.
So, I suppose this is either
a) a bug in Boost Python,
b) a bug in the Boost Python tutorial I copied from, or
c) a mistake I'm making
Does anyone see which?
