[Python-Dev] Question for you

Tue Feb 23 21:41:43 CET 2010

Hello, Dave;
 My name is Craig Connor and I am a senior s/w developer at Northrop
Grumman.
I have a question for you. I have installed Boost (via the Installer),
and stored it into my 
C Drive inside a dir called: 
 C:\boost_1_42
I also installed the Boost Jam into a directory called: 
 C:\boost-jam-3.1.17
I am using 2 separate compilers in my Win OS XP (SP3)
and I would like to be able to use the Python module of Boost
in order to embed Python.h into my C++ compiler.
The C++ compilers that I have are:
o Dev-cpp, and 
o Visual C++.net (of MS Visual Studio.Net 2008).
Problem:
 When I compile a simple program, I keep getting the error:
"pyconfig.h: No such file or directory".
The program I am trying to start with is (below):
#include <iostream>
#include<boost/any.hpp>
#include<boost/python.hpp>
using namespace std;
int main( )
{
 cout << "Hello, Boost World!!" << endl;
 boost::any a(5);
 a = 7.67;
 std::cout<<boost::any_cast<double>(a)<<std::endl;

 system( "PAUSE" );
 return 0;
} 
Also:
 I did set up my environmental config to go to the Boost dir.
Question:
 Do you know what am I doing wrong?
Regards,
 Craig Connor
