"Keith MacDonald"
I have just done a checkout boost from cvs.sourceforge.net and tried to build with VC8 (cl version 14.0.40607.16) and Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows XP SP2, using the following commands:
tools\build\jam_src\build.bat tools\build\jam_src\bin.ntx86\bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-8_0"
This resulted in lots of these warnings:
option 'Og' has been deprecated option 'Gs' has been deprecated ignoring unknown option '/MLd' ignoring unknown option '/ML'
I read that Jam V2 should fix those, but I cannot see how to build it.
There's no such thing as Jam V2. The bjam you built will work just fine with Boost.Build v2, which doesn't need to be built -- it's entirely contained in interpreted .jam files. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
