Compile BOOST with Python3 support

BOOSTwithPython3

1. Check Python3 root
>>> import sys
>>> import os
>>> sys.executable
'/usr/local/bin/python3'

OR

$ which python3
/usr/local/bin/python3

2. Modify user-config.jam

Ex. location:

/boost_1_57_0/tools/build/example/user-config.jam

Ex. modification

using python : 3.4 : /usr/local/bin/python3 : /usr/local/include/python3.4m : /usr/local/lib ;

4. ./bootstrap.sh --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python3 --with-python-version=3.4 --with-python-root=/usr/local/lib/python3.4

Ex.
Building Boost.Build engine with toolset gcc... tools/build/src/engine/bin.linuxx86/b2
Unicode/ICU support for Boost.Regex?... /usr
Backing up existing Boost.Build configuration in project-config.jam.3
Generating Boost.Build configuration in project-config.jam...

Bootstrapping is done. To build, run:

    ./b2
    
To adjust configuration, edit 'project-config.jam'.

   - Command line help:
     ./b2 --help

I use it, but no work

Very helpful hint. Thank you!

this just doesn't cut it after 4 years.

AMAZING!
