https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/250 <pre class="wiki">If compiling Boost 1.31.0 against Python 2.2.3 where Python has been compiled to not include Unicode support, Boost fails to compile. The problem is caused by a function within libs/python/source/converter/builtin_converters.cpp The function encode_string_unaryfunc() needs to be preceded by #ifndef BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING, which is currently below the function. It is also necessary to add #define BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING to libs/config/user.hpp to compile Boost without Unicode support. I am using Python on an embedded system where Unicode is not required and support for these libraries requires considerable memory. To build Python without Unicode support, do this: ./configure --disable-unicode </pre> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/250 Trac 1.4.3 david_abrahams Fri, 14 Oct 2005 15:56:09 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/250#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/250#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">assigned</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> </ul> <pre class="wiki">Logged In: YES user_id=52572 Fixed in CVS; should go out with 1.33.1 Please try my fix, since I am not easily able to test on a Python with unicode disabled. Your fix is not quite appropriate; we should be checking Py_USES_UNICODE. </pre> Ticket
