On Mac, I want to build the example Boost.Python code
hello.cpp
#include <boost/python.hpp>
char const* greet()
{
return "hello, world";
}
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(hello_ext)
{
using namespace boost::python;
def("greet", greet);
}
I installed the Boost.Python
with brew install boost-python --with-python3
And I compiled the hello.cpp
by
g++ -fpic -c -L/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.67.0_1/lib `python3.6m-config --includes --libs --ldflags` hello.cpp
There is a hello.o
file generated. And generate .so
file by
g++ -shared -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.67.0_1/lib -L/usr/local/Cellar/boost-python3/1.67.0_1/lib/ `python3.6m-config --libs --ldflags` -lboost_python3 -o hello_ext.so hello.o
But it returned
ld: library not found for -lboost_python3
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Or more detailed output with -v
.
g++ -shared -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.67.0_1/lib -L/usr/local/Cellar/boost-python3/1.67.0_1/lib/ `python3.6m-config --libs --ldflags` -lboost_python3 -o hello_ext.so hello.o -v

How can I fix it?
Finally, I found there is no such
libboost_python37.dylib
in boost-python lib pathSo I created a soft link
I can compile my code now.
