alfa-python make error about alfa-dataset-tools HOT 5 CLOSED

Thank you for pointing out the issues. Looks like in Mac the issue was caused by the older boost library being confused between multiple compilers. I could solve the issue on my Mac by changing the version of the installed boost library. Please pull the latest repo update and check again.
If you get an error with not finding boost/python.hpp you can try installing the boost-python module globally. If you still have issues after those steps please let us know.

We will update the repo in 1-2 days with fixes to the other issues we found for alfa-python, including the issues in Windows and Ubuntu.

About the pip, we do have it in our to-do list, but I am not sure if that will happen soon.

So, I pulled the newest code from the repository and it solved the error on MacOS, thank you for the update.
Now I have the same error on both operating systems:

Scanning dependencies of target alfa_python

I already installed the boost-python (for Python 2 and 3) package via brew and also installed if from source and added the paths, but no change. I also used Python 2 as well as Python 3.

Any idea? :)

I pushed a fix for the issue and was able to compile it on my Linux system without any issues. If you still experience issues on Mac and Windows after the new fixes, please let us know so we can help you with solving the new problems.
The current alfa-python version is basically a wrapper for the alfa-cpp module. We are most probably going to rewrite the whole module in a few weeks (the second half of October) directly in python to avoid the issues

Thank you for the support. The last commit solved the problem with the boost/python.hpp file.
But I had to edit two things in BuildBoost.cmake to make it work:
I had to add "27" to both linked packages otherwise I got an error (ld: library not found for -lboost_python) that these packages could not be found.

else()
  message(STATUS "Using Python2")
  set(Boost_LIBRARIES -lboost_python27 -lboost_numpy27)
endif()

Now after I got 100% progress from the make process, I have trouble importing the "alfa_python.so": It always says that there is no module name "alfa_python" even though it is in the same directory.
