This causes an error on compiling. It is a known problem, and +due to the stricter typename checking in more recent GCC versions. +The new Boost.Python version will contain a fix for this problem, but +it might take some more months for this version to become available, +and some distributions ( including Debian, not including Red Hat ( at +this time, 22-9-2003, at least ) ). In the mean time, I have included +a patch to the boost.python headers in the Kig distribution that fixes +this problem. It is called boost-python1.30-gcc3.2.patch, and should +be applied in the following way. + +Open a console window, and go to the directory containing the +Boost.Python headers. This will most likely be called something like +"/usr/include/boost/python/". Then execute the following commands ( +before giving these commands, replace "/dir/to/kig/distribution/" by +the directory where you put the downloaded kig distribution ): + +cd object +patch make_ptr_instance.hpp < /dir/to/kig/distribution/boost-python1.30-gcc3.2.patch |
