Fixing PyGMO problems on Windows 64 bit platform

[ccordoba12]

I'm creating a PyGMO package for Anaconda, as you can see here

https://github.com/conda/conda-recipes/tree/master/pygmo

Unfortunately, I've been unable to create a package for Windows 64. I followed the guide in your wiki, which led me to successfully compile and link all pyd modules you provide. But when I try to run any PyGMO example, the Python interpreter crashes. The stack trace reports a problem related to threads but I've been unable to gather further information :-)

So I'd like to know if I can help you to solve this problem. I'm willing to put the necessary time to make a Win 64 build of PyGMO a reality, and for that I'd like to ask you:

1. What do you think the problem is?
2. Where can I start to look at fixing it?
3. Do you think this is a boost issue or an issue with pagmo?
4. How can I run the pagmo tests?

Thanks for your help! :-)
