[package] boost/1.85.0: Install failed with python

[xiaoshenxian]

Description

I want to build boost with python and numpy on window with below conanfile.py:

from conan import ConanFile
from conan.tools.cmake import cmake_layout


class ExampleRecipe(ConanFile):
    settings = "os", "compiler", "build_type", "arch"
    generators = "CMakeDeps", "CMakeToolchain"
    default_options = {
        "boost/*:without_python": False,
        "boost/*:without_numpy": False
    }

    def requirements(self):
        self.requires("boost/1.85.0")

    def layout(self):
        cmake_layout(self)

and following below steps:

1. run python -m venv venv
2. run .\venv\Scripts\activate.ps1
3. run pip install conan numpy
4. run conan install . --output-folder=build --build=missing --settings=build_type=Debug

But things doesn't work.

What version of numpy are you using? If I remember correctly, that boost isn't compatible with numpy 2+

@Nekto89

What version of numpy are you using? If I remember correctly, that boost isn't compatible with numpy 2+

Oh, it is indeed this problem... I downgrade my numpy from 2.2.2 to 1.26.4, then it goes well. Thank you for your help.

But why it also doesn't work if I set "boost/*:without_numpy": True to not to compile with the installed numpy 2.2.2?
