Building Boost::Python

This page describes how to build Boost::Python for use with libRocket. This describes how to build against a debug version of Python on the Windows platform.

Directory Structure

The default libRocket configurations assume there is a support folder at the same directory structure level as the main "rocket" folder.

C:\development
  rocket
    Include
    Source
    Build
    ...
  support
    boost
    freetype
    python
    lib

Building Python

This is straight forward, get the latest source code for Python (Python 2.7 at the time of writing). Open the solution file under PC/VS8.0 (VS will ask you to update the solution).

Build a debug and release version of the python. Copy python27.dll and python27_d.dll into support/lib directory.
