Re: [Boost-users] 1.41.0 fails to compile on Windows 7 with VisualStudion 2008 tools

Going from some older notes I had I believe I used the following from a 32 bit Visual Studio command prompt. bjam.exe toolset=msvc-9.0 --with-test --with-filesystem --with-program_options --with-date_time --with-thread --prefix=C:\Developer\VS9\boost_1_41 --layout=tagged variant=release,debug threading=multi link=static runtime-link=shared install I guess I should have tried the default values to compile but this has worked since 1.36 on Windows XP and Windows 7 in both 32 and 64 bit flavors. _________________________________________________________ Mike Jackson mike.jackson@bluequartz.net On Sat, Dec 5, 2009 at 12:05 PM, Zachary Turner wrote:

I believe something down in the unit test framework was being compiled. I am away from my work machine so I can not be more specific. I don't think I did anything out of the ordinary when trying to compile Boost. I downloaded the tar ball from boost.org, used bjam to configure and build. Then I got the errors. Although I do find it odd that this was not caught during the release preparations.

 So I am thinking maybe a Windows 7 x64, VS2008 specific bug?

I compiled on Windows 7, x64, Visual Studio 2008 just yesterday and it worked fine.  What command line did you use?
