Unable to compile on mac

[benjaminderei]

I get:
ld: library not found for -lboost_python

[harritaylor]

Have you installed boost via home-brew? (brew install boost-python)

[benjaminderei]

Are you compiling for python 2 or python 3?

And when does ld: library not found for -lboost_python appear? When you try and compile, or when you run the library?

I have tried with python 2 and python 3 and it happen when compiling. Le 12 août 2018 à 13:13:43, Harri Taylor (notifications@github.com) a écrit: Are you compiling for python 2 or python 3?

This is happening to me too. I have been trying to build the library on xcode and get
ld: library not found for -lboost_python

[CarlosBalladares]

I was able to build the library. If anyone else runs in this issue.

Just run

brew info boost-python and get the installation dir

And then point point Xcode to the $(brew_installation_dir)/lib in the library search paths in the xcode project.

For me the directory was

/usr/local/Cellar/boost-python/1.67.0/lib

It may be different for you

In addition change -lboost_python to -lboost_python27

On OS X, Renderman works fine with python 3 (and python 2) using boost provided by homebrew.

Tested with renderman version: 33213e5 (= last commit)

I resolved this by running:
brew info boost-python
after going to the lib directory that boost-python is located in, I ran ls:
it outputted:
libboost_numpy27-mt.a libboost_python27-mt.a libboost_numpy27-mt.dylib libboost_python27-mt.dylib libboost_numpy27.a libboost_python27.a libboost_numpy27.dylib libboost_python27.dylib libboost_python.dylib

I then created a symlink from libboost_python27.dylib to libboost_python.dylib
sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/boost-python/1.69.0/libboost_python27.dylib /usr/local/Cellar/boost-python/1.69.0/libboost_python.dylib

looks like the build process is looking for libboost_python.dylib

Hey all, please accept my apologies for the silence on your problems. This is a project that I wrote whilst at university and I now don't have time to support in a professional capacity, but I appreciate it's a tool that is of use to you.

I'm wondering if any of you would like to become collaborators so you can put this repository in a state that works for you?
