boost::python and pyenv

[tgy]

I'd like to write a C++ python module with boost::python.

What is the procedure to make it work with pyenv?

I am asking myself the following questions:

• Do I need to build boost::python specifically for every python version I installed with pyenv?
• If so, how do I do that?

Thanks! 😄

I guess you need to build boost:: python against pyenv built python. Probablly boost::python's build script must be providing some configure option to specify path to python installation.

// I need some answer from active boost users...

You just need to set the path in a Boost.Build configuration file.

3.6.0 example

echo "using python : : ~/.pyenv/versions/3.6.0/bin/python ;" > ~/user-config.jam
./bootstrap.sh
./b2
sudo ./b2 install

Alternatively, you can also use the --with-python option on bootstrap.sh.
