The boost1.32-pyXX-1.32.0-2 package is built --without-python and does
not build libboost_python-*.dylib. As a reason, the package description says
NB - Boost.Python isn't built because a bug in Apple's version of gcc
causes a deadlock when Boost.Python extensions are imported into Python
This statement dates from before the arrival of gcc-4.0, but it is still
present in the 10.4-transitional package. Does anyone remember what the
symptoms of this problem were? Is the problem solved now?
I am asking because I would like to update the visual-py23 package, and
the new version (which has been out for many months BTW) uses
libbost_python.dylib. Its build instructions propose to build first a
special version of gcc-3.4.3 and then use this to build libboost_python.
I would like to avoid this and use gcc-4.0 instead, or rather Fink's
boost if possible.
