Default compilation directions do work for boost.python tutorials

Reported by: gupta.sandeep@… Owned by: Dave Abrahams
Milestone: Boost 1.38.0 Component: python USE GITHUB
Version: Boost Release Branch Severity: Problem
Keywords: Cc:

Description

The documentation for boost.python directs that typing "bjam" will compile the tutorial.

However on windows box with msvc, bjam fails, with following error, at the linking phase beacuse it cannot find the python library. fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'boost_python-vc80-mt-gd-1_37.lib'

However this problem disappears when compiled with "bjam link=static threading = multi" option.

Autolinking needs to be disabled. This should be easy enough to fix.

I could not reproduce the problem with 1.37 or the trunk. If this is still a problem, please provide the full output of the failing command.
