Error Compiling Boost.python Quickstart

I've been trying to compile the Boost.Python 'quickstart' ($BOOST_PATH\libs\python\examples\quickstart) examples and have run into an issue. First, my environment: OS: Windows 7 U

Solution 1:

I'm not sure what the problem is with a). Problem b) appears to be a bug in the boost example, the jam file is trying to make a test executable from an executable instead of a static lib or cpp file.

I documented what I had to do to get the embed example running.
