| Issue 524: | check_boost("python") picks arbitrary python version library | |
| 1 person starred this issue and may be notified of changes. | Back to list |
check_boost("python") selects 2.4 version of the library by default in at
least debian lenny.
/usr/lib/libboost_python-mt-py24.so
/usr/lib/libboost_python-mt-py25.so
and in this case I want the py25 version, i don't see how to configure this
from looking at boost.py.
one way would be to pick the python version from the version running waf,
but i don't know, some fixing is needed.

Same with issues 453 and 454. The file boost.py is now a candidate for deletion.

I think your issue can be fixed by calling `check_boost("python", abi="25")`. A
function called `tags_score` does a number of regex matches against library name and
picks the one with best overall match score. Looking at `is_abitag` regular
expression, it seems that it checks for the number in the last '-'-delimited token at
the end of the filename, which is where your python version number resides.
