https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5677 <p> Using bootstrap.sh to build boost with python versions 3.1 and up generates output similar to the following and the subsequent build fails for boost.python: </p> <p> Detecting Python version... 3.2 Detecting Python root... File "&lt;string&gt;", line 1 </p> <blockquote> <p> import sys; print sys.prefix </p> <blockquote> <p> </p> </blockquote> </blockquote> <p> <a class="missing wiki">SyntaxError</a>: invalid syntax </p> <p> This appears to be caused by the code checking for the python root using a form of the 'print' function that is no longer valid in later versions of python. Attached is a patch that fixes this issue. </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5677 Trac 1.4.3 Eric Barr <eric.barr@…> Thu, 07 Jul 2011 21:16:34 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5677 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5677 <ul> <li><strong>attachment</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">python_fix.patch</span> </li> </ul> Ticket jonatan.magnusson@… Thu, 12 Dec 2013 15:37:24 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5677#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5677#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>version</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">Boost 1.46.1</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">Boost Release Branch</span> </li> </ul> Ticket anonymous Sat, 07 Feb 2015 19:42:10 GMT
