[SOLVED] Linux: alternative build way - having issues

Hi,

I'm trying to build python ogre not using BuildModule.py - I've successfully built all dependencies and stuck with py packages.
I have my own source tree (I mean I have built deps not under python-ogre folder) so I had to alter environment.py and PythonOgreConfig_XXX.py in order to get everything working.
But I still have some issues and questions and would appreciate any help.

1) During code generation phase (especially for ogre) I have a bunch of warnings of different sorts. As I'm new to py++ and gccxml I didn't dived into those. But I'm really worried because of it. How can I be sure that everything tied (C++->Py I mean) correctly. I guess those warnings are just warnings but anyway.
2) As I'm new to python/C/C++ binding i just don't know - what if I will encounter a bug (or if I will think it's a bug) in generated module and will trace it down to underlying c++ code, how can I debug it ? I mean in c++ I can just trace into ogre while having source. What can I do with python in that case?
3) I found:

if isWindows():
_USE_THREADS = True
BOOST_STATIC = False
else:
_USE_THREADS = False
BOOST_STATIC = False

in environment.py and as I am on Linux I changed this to:

if isWindows():
_USE_THREADS = True
BOOST_STATIC = False
else:
_USE_THREADS = True
BOOST_STATIC = False

but now I have an issue generating code for cegui - #error "Sorry, no boost threads are available for this platform.":

and I think this is because:

if environment._USE_THREADS:
defined_symbols.append('BOOST_HAS_THREADS')
defined_symbols.append('BOOST_HAS_WINTHREADS')


in cegui/generate_code.py.
So I guess I need to add something here like BOOST_HAS_PTHREADS and remove WINTHREADS????

SOLVED:
Changed

if environment._USE_THREADS:
defined_symbols.append('BOOST_HAS_THREADS')
defined_symbols.append('BOOST_HAS_WINTHREADS')

to

if environment._USE_THREADS:
if environment.isWindows():
defined_symbols.append('BOOST_HAS_THREADS')
defined_symbols.append('BOOST_HAS_WINTHREADS')
else:
defined_symbols.append('BOOST_HAS_THREADS')
defined_symbols.append('BOOST_HAS_PTHREADS')

in cegui/generate_code.py.

As I know one shouldn't define those macros explicitly (boost will determine that itself), so may be removing just defined_symbols.append('BOOST_HAS_WINTHREADS') will help.
By the way, I'm still looking for answers for 1) and 2)
