[C++-sig] Full Cross-Module Support for Boost Python on Windows
Hi all, I am new to Python and just recently started using boost python to create some wrappers for some C++ static libraries. I have been able to get most everything to work from the documentation and community examples. Thank you for your efforts. The one issue that I am still hitting is full cross module support for boost wrapped modules running on windows. I've looked through the past discussions http://mail.python.org/pipermail/cplusplus-sig/2005-August/009135.html and have seen conclusions and solutions for platforms other than windows but have not been able to find a message summarizing a solution on windows. The last discussion that I was able to find was from January of last year http://mail.python.org/pipermail/cplusplus-sig/2008-January/012874.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/cplusplus-sig/2008-January/012875.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/cplusplus-sig/2008-January/012876.html Unfortunately, our build system is using an older version of the boost libraries; 1.34. I am trying to convince our CM team to upgrade them to the latest, but I am getting some push back because of a compatibility issue with the latest regex boost library. Our standard for Python (2.4.1.) is also a little out of date because of reluctance to move by our QA folks. Does anyone know the current state for the full cross-module support on the windows platform? Has this been solved by anyone? Am I still having problems because of older libraries?

Sorry, the problem is being able to find classes/types wrapped and exported from module A that are used as a parameter/argument type to a function in module B. It all works fine when they are in the same module. You may have hit the nail on the head though, I'm using the static version of the boost libs because of some other conflicts with the runtime dll and another one of our libraries. I will write a test to verify/clarify the situation.
