Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #2001: hello example doesn't work https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2001 <p> I am trying to run the standard hello.cpp example to use in with Python. It is described here: <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/libs/python/doc/tutorial/doc/html/python/hello.html">http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/libs/python/doc/tutorial/doc/html/python/hello.html</a>. The problem is that I can't find hello_ext.so file (or any file with patterns hello*so, hello*pyc) after successful completion of bjam (no error messages). More over I can see the line gcc.link.dll bin/gcc-4.2.3/debug/hello_ext.so during bjam running but only hello.o file gets created in my bin/gcc4.2.3/debug directory. I've tried to use it but failed. My OS is Ubuntu 2.6.24-18-server, Python is 2.5. Please help. Thank you. </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2001 Trac 1.4.3 René Rivera Tue, 10 Jun 2008 13:48:15 GMT owner, component changed https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2001#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2001#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>owner</strong> changed from <span class="trac-author">René Rivera</span> to <span class="trac-author">Dave Abrahams</span> </li> <li><strong>component</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">bjam</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">Python</span> </li> </ul> Ticket Vladimir Prus Fri, 29 May 2009 08:09:07 GMT status changed; resolution set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2001#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2001#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">fixed</span> </li> </ul> <p> I think you've missed that bit in docs: </p> <blockquote> <p> Starting from Boost 1.35, bjam erases the generated executables (e.g. pyd file). To keep bjam from doing that, pass --preserve-test-targets to bjam </p> </blockquote> <p> This is no longer the case in 1.39, so I have adjusted tutorial to no longer say that (<a class="changeset" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/changeset/53379" title="Don't mention --preserve-test-targets. Targets are no longer removed ...">[53379]</a>), and this ticket should be now fixed. </p> Ticket
