Hello,

Has anyone had much luck with this?

I have never tried this, and I don't have any windows machine nearby to do so. However, I would be very interested in making any necessary modifications to make it work, and to provide instruction to those who wish to try.

I've been trying under cygwin with very little luck. Specifically I'm running ./configure, and it runs for a reasonable period of time (after I installed various requirements), but am now getting:

checking for boostlib >= 1.38.0... yes checking whether the Boost::Python library is available... no configure: error: No usable boost::python found

Even though I feel like claiming that there is indeed a viable boost::python available (that is to say, I claim I've installed it).

You should look at the full output in config.log to see exactly what the error was, so that you can understand what happened. Most of the time, it is only an issue with setting the correct path to the libraries.

Is there any hope for me here? Is there a better way to get it running (as a part of a .exe) under windows? I'll continue onward, but would love some words of encouragement, if anyone has them ...

I think it should be ultimately possible to achieve this, but there may be bumps along the road. If you encounter any further problems or have any questions, feel free to ask them. And if you manage to do this, it would be nice to know exactly what was necessary, so others could do the same.

Good luck!

Cheers, Tiago
