Hi, I'm new on this list as well as on C++ world. I try to install boost library but failed. This is what I did: [Win98, MSVC 6.0 without service pack] 1. Download and extract the zip file to root directory. I have C:\boost_1_27_0 now. (success) 2. Download Boost.Build for windows from sourceforge, unpack and installing, reboot (success) 3. go to c:\boost_1_27_0 directory, then execute this in command prompt: jam -sBOOST_ROOT=. -sTOOLS="msvc" (fail) the dos prompt yield many lines but I cant read it. It's too fast. I think it's error messages. Or maybe I missing some procedure? please let me know. I guess my compiler is broken and I need MSVC service pack. But, I can't download it at this time. Acctually, I just want to use the boost's regex library. Can I compile the regex manually (by the IDE) so I can use it with include ( #include <boost/regex.hpp> ) in my codes? If yes, how? Sorry for my english, I hope you understand me. Thanks.
