Error in msvc in building inheritance.obj to build hello.pyd

Hello,

I am trying to build the boost 1.31.0 sample extension hello.cpp.
I can not compile the file inheritance.cpp because the two
files containing some templates: adjacency_list. hpp and mem_fn.hpp can
not compile.

Does anyone have any solutions?
Instead of Visual C++ 6.0 should I use a different compiler?
Anyone have any success on any other compiler?

Did anyone manage to build a hello.pyd?

Thank you very much.
Here is my script below (with embedded results).

Any Ideas about a possible solution?

I use msvc 6.0 too, but my boost.python version is 1.32.0 , and i
didn't get error to compile the hello.pyd with the msvc6 IDE, the
hello demo from boost.python is compile with jam.
would you try to use boost.python 1.32.0 if no compatible problem

Donne Leen,

Thanks, thats a very good solution. I am glad to hear that the later
solution works for you.

I will try to get the 1.32.0 source Monday. I will try to compile
again next week.
