I have these pieces of C-code (NOT C++ !!) I want to call from Python.
I found Boost.
I have MS Visual Studio 2005 with C++.

is this the idea:
I write the following C source file:
============================
#include <iostream>
#include <stdafx.h>

namespace { // Avoid cluttering the global namespace.

iostream and namespaces are both most definitely C++ features, not C.

yes, but C can be compiled with a C++ compiler, One can put C code in
C++ source.... Boost should not complain... should it ?
Boost text is all about C++.. so... C should not be a problem...

Not all C code can be compiled by a C++ compiler. And anyway, this is
definitively NOT C code.

ok ok,
but the examples of the application of boost only show how to do C++.
So I followed those examples and try to embed my C code in the
framework of the examples...
Which seems not to be without merit, because my example here compiles
ok, but the linking into a DLL goes wrong, looking at the log.
I told VC where the boost libs are, and still....
