Using boost.python with make instead of bjam

I'm just trying to compile the "hello world" example of boost.python WITHOUT using all the bjam magic. My boost.python installation is working, I did succesfully build the example with bjam and passed the test suite.

Now for my project I need to use all this stuff in a plain Make environment. I don't want to port to another build tool.

So my naive approach is of course to just point the include path to the right headers and link against the right library. I built boost python as system-layout, static, runtime-static, which means it is just a libboost_python.a that resides in /usr/local/lib.

Unfortunately, I get unresolved external symbols in the resulting .so library.

Here is my try to build the example from libs/python/example/tutorial/hello.cpp:

char const* greet()

   return "hello, world";
}

    using namespace boost::python;
    def("greet", greet);
}
