Interesting is g++ option from log

-I"/usr/include/python3.4"

and my path

/usr/include/python3.4m/

Jürgen Hunold — Wed, 18 Mar 2015 10:02:09 GMT

Most probably Boost.Build fails to parse the include path reported by your python binary. Can you please run "b2 --debug-configuration" and attach the log?

When I copy files from /usr/include/python3.4m/ to /usr/include/python3.4/

...updated 68 targets...
The Boost C++ Libraries were successfully built!
The following directory should be added to compiler include paths:
    /home/gg/Downloads/DOWNLOAD/test/boost_1_57_0
The following directory should be added to linker library paths:
    /home/gg/Downloads/DOWNLOAD/test/boost_1_57_0/stage/lib

I added also "b2 --debug-configuration" now above :)

tele — Wed, 18 Mar 2015 10:42:39 GMT

I will try ask on PCLinuxOS forum. I would like add symlinks files from .../python3.4m/ to .../python3.4/ but I don't know if this is good way.

Jürgen Hunold — Wed, 18 Mar 2015 11:04:30 GMT

The error might also be in bootstrap.sh. Can you add "project-config.jam" too?

This is the same bug
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6826

tele — Wed, 18 Mar 2015 14:02:07 GMT

I checked path /usr/include/python3.4m/

Mageia , Fedora , OpenSuse have similar path for pyconfig.h in python3

I tried compile on OpenSuse , I have the same problem with this path.

Steven Watanabe — Wed, 18 Mar 2015 15:39:16 GMT

The offending code in python.jam is

        includes ?= $(prefix)/include/python$(version) ;

A better workaround is to edit project-config.jam to pass the correct include path explicitly.

using python : 3.4 : /usr : /usr/include/python3.4m ;

tele — Wed, 18 Mar 2015 16:39:09 GMT

Thanks :)
So I will try edit /boost_1_57_0/tools/build/src/tools/python.jam to add "m"

 includes ?= $(prefix)/include/python$(version)m ;

Steven Watanabe — Wed, 18 Mar 2015 17:15:17 GMT

A general fix would be more like:

[ path.glob $(prefix)/include : python$(version)* ]

tele — Thu, 19 Mar 2015 11:35:20 GMT

I don't know python however:

        if  not($(prefix)/include/python$(version)m)
        {
           debug-message "Used include path: $(prefix)/include/python$(version)m" ;
           includes ?= $(prefix)/include/python$(version)m ;
        }
        else
        {
           debug-message "Used include path: $(prefix)/include/python$(version)" ;
           includes ?= $(prefix)/include/python$(version) ;
        }
        local lib = $(exec-prefix)/lib ;
        libraries ?= $(lib)/python$(version)/config $(lib) ;

I tried add before " path.glob $(prefix)/include : python$(version)* " but python libs missed ( libboost_python ) and I con not find error.

Anyone will update python support ?
I ask because I see ./bootstrap.sh can add only 1 python version to project-config.jam

tele — Thu, 19 Mar 2015 11:38:50 GMT

You tried add something with if ?

if [ path.glob $(prefix)/include : python$(version)* ]
...

tele — Thu, 19 Mar 2015 12:18:56 GMT

blee , above what I paste working wrong , if any can fix I will happy.

I tried also something

        for local file_name in  glob.glob("{prefix}/include/python{version}*/Python.h".format(version=$(version), prefix=$(prefix)))
#  file_name = /usr/include/python3.4m/Python.h
        includes ?= $(file_name)[:-9] ;
#       includes ?= /usr/include/python3.4m ;
          {
          debug-message "Python$(version) path: $(file_name) ;
          }

And also this is wrong and I don't know what is wrong inside this. This is python jam , yes ? Exist IDE for python jam ? How can create fast script and test in python jam ?

This still appears to be an issue in Boost 1.59.0, I found this report when searching for my problem. I guess not all installs symlink the directory without the m. It would be great to resolve as it can take quite a while to get here.

anonymous — Sun, 08 Nov 2015 16:06:39 GMT

Reporting that this bug is still present. On OSX with python3 installed via brew.

Bootstrap with

./bootstrap.sh --with-python=python3

Here's how to fix this manually for now:

In the file tools/build/v2/tools/python.jam, line 542, change

includes ?= $(prefix)/include/python$(version) ;

includes ?= $(prefix)/include/python$(version)m ;

(as proposed by steven_watanabe)

Hoping that a real fix will come for version 1.60.

j.r.versteegh@… — Mon, 18 Jan 2016 13:43:51 GMT

Still present in 1.60.

python-config should be used to determine the python include path.

Modification of python.jam to use abiflags

j.r.versteegh@… — Mon, 18 Jan 2016 20:50:41 GMT

python.jam appears to get values from "import sys", so the above patch attempts to get the abiflags from there as well. Tested with python2.7 and python3.4 on linux mint amd64.

anonymous — Thu, 27 Jul 2017 16:38:05 GMT

Same error exists on OSX due to the difference in folder names. When installing Python3 with brew (brew install python3) Python is installed in this folder: /usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.6.2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6

Boost configuration detects the folder correctly but sets the include path as: /usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.6.2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/include/python3.6

While brew installation places include files in: /usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.6.2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/include/python3.6m

This can be solved by soft linking folder include/python3.6 to include/python3.6m but it's not obvious, and boost library build does not work out of the box.

Are there any plans to fix this bug?

liam.gretton@… — Tue, 15 Aug 2017 16:02:01 GMT

I just hit this bug in 1.64.0 too, here's another vote for a fix please.

Please fix this already.

october 2017, and i'm beyond eager to have a fix.

maybe this will be fixed after boost moves to cmake for its build system?

Microsamp — Fri, 13 Oct 2017 18:49:07 GMT

I am waiting for a fix too. Python2.7 on Mint amd64 with 1_16_0/1_65_1(both tested today)

anonymous — Thu, 16 Nov 2017 19:43:13 GMT

Please fix this

pyconfig.h still not found in boost 1.66, building boost on Linux Mint (roughly equal to Ubuntu 16.04).

Facing the same problem Centos 7 boost 1.65

anonymous — Thu, 15 Feb 2018 11:57:51 GMT

can i do anything here? if i make it use python-config, is there a chance you will merge? this really makes it hard to automate this...

anonymous — Thu, 22 Feb 2018 01:15:11 GMT
