Failed to compile on 'develop' about python

[stefanseefeld]

Can you elaborate a bit what you mean by 'failed to compile' ? I'm on Fedora 23 (x86_64), and everything builds fine, both on the develop as well as the master branch.

What platform are you on (OS, compiler, etc.), what steps did you follow, and what is the exact failure you are observing ?

Thanks,

Sorry, this has been handled by pull request #43. You'd better apply that as a direct solution.
This has been caused by a change of boost::detail repository on develop branch, which removed the boost::detail::distance as a typedef of std::distance.
I'm using Cygwin for building Boost.

More details:
boost/detail/iterator.hpp was included indirectly through boost/iterator/iterator_traits.hpp and python/slices.hpp was using boost::detail::distance(). But at Sep 9, 2015 the inclusion within Boost.Iterator library has been cleaned away because of deprecation from Boost.Core for entire boost/iterator.hpp and boost/detail/iterator.hpp headers. This change was merged into Boost.Iterator's master branch, but has been reverted again at Oct 15, 2015. Thus Boost.Python can successfully build with Boost.Iterator with newest master branch, but compilation failure occurs on Boost.Iterator's develop branch.
