OS Mac
brew install boost-python --with-python3 # if your python version or lib path is different from mine, please change # INCLUDE_PATH and LIBPYTHON_PATH in makefile # INCLUDE_PATH: # shold be the path contains "pyconfig.h", below two command can help you find the path # sudo find / -name "pyconfig.h" # python3 -c "import sys; print('\n'.join(sys.path))" # LIBPYTHON_PATH: # on mac, with version python3.6, lib name is: libpython3.6.dylib # sudo find / -name "libpython3.6"
- If you install from source, and you change the prefix path when install, you need also change the BOOST_INC and BOOST_LIB in makefile
- My default python version is python3.5 on Ubuntu, python3.6 on Mac, if you want to use with python 2.7, change "PYTHON_VERSION" in makefile
