[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#631079: [boost1.46] Please build boost.python for pythonX-dbg too

[Cristian Greco]

Package: boost1.46
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

I'm working on #628041 [0], building python-libtorrent (python
bindings for libtorrent-rasterbar) for pythonX-dbg.

Unfortunately, those extensions can't actually work:

$ python-dbg -c "import libtorrent"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /usr/lib/libboost_python-py26.so.1.46.1: undefined symbol: Py_InitModule4_64
[15005 refs]

This error is obliviously due to the fact boost.python is built against
pythonX and not pythonX-dbg. Would it be possible to add such a version
of boost.python (argh, another one!)?

I tested a modified build and it compiles and works fine, please find
attached my patch. It is _very_ imprecise and incomplete, but maybe can
save you a bit of work or give an idea of what is needed. File
debian/rtupdate should be updated too, I just installed the symlinks
manually.
