Hello group, I am using VS6 on Windows2000 and soon .NET2005. So we are planning to migrate to boost 1.33.1 first with VS6 and move all our application to VS8 (including boost). So, I am in the process of writing an installation / migration procedure of boost for our "3rd party manager". In summary, I want to do : 1- build boost with the right toolset 2- build regression tool 3- run regression tests of boost 4- validate regression result with boost specification from http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost.aspx 5- integrate the newly compiled boost in our application 6- correct compilation error if any change where made in the public interface 7- run our application regression test 8- submit to our version control system I am having hard time to do all this :) So : 1- I want to know your opinion about this. Does it seems like a good practice? 2- I am unable to build the regression tools with VS6. Is It normal? Am I missing something? 3- I am unable to find a boost 1.33.1 regression test. Only Head, 1.33.0 or before? 4- Does the result on my PC should be the same then the one posted on boost site? It seems like it might be different. By analysing http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/1_33_0/developer/summary.h... discovered that for the same toolset we can have different results (goncalo-vc8 and RudbekAssociates have different results for vc-8_0 toolset) It is normal? Thank you for any feedback, help or comments. http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/1_33_0/RudbekAssociates.ht... Alain
