how to compile the boost/regex without comand line
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
One thing you will need to check is to make certain that the MS compiler and linker can be found. Check your MCVC program directories, there should be a batch file there to execute called MSCVAR.BAT or something line that. Aza Lsaja wrote: <snip>

) in my codes? If yes, how?
Yes, please read the regex installation docs for full details (basically just compile all the files under boost-path/libs/regex/src/ into a static lib or dll), however, you may find that you do need to patch VC6 with at least sp3.
