Errors building CVS root sources with VC8
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. More serious was the following compilation error: lexical_cast.hpp(150): error C2679: binary '>>' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Ax>' That file hasn't changed since last September, so am I wasting my time trying to use VC8? Thanks, Keith MacDonald

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
None of build v2 documentation was in my cvs directory, so I installed version 1.32 and found it there. After running vcvars32.bat for VC8, my commands for building are now: set PYTHON_ROOT=C:\Apps\Python23 set PYTHON_VERSION=2.3 set ICU_PATH=F:\Dev\icu-3.2 set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;"F:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows XP SP2\Include" set LIB=%LIB%;"F:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows XP SP2\Lib" tools\build\jam_src\bin.ntx86\bjam --v2 "-sTOOLS=vc-8_0" Confusingly, that results in the following output: warning: Python location is not configured warning: the Boost.Python library won't be built Building Boost.Regex with Unicode/ICU support enabled Using ICU in F:\Dev\icu-3.2/include warning: no toolsets are configured. warning: you won't be able to build C++ programs. warning: please consult the documentation. ...found 1 target... Presumably, the "no toolsets are configured" warning occurs because vc-8_0-tools.jam does not exist under tools/build/v2. Please will you let me know exactly what steps are required to build with Boost.Build v2. Also, will that fix the compilation error in lexical_cast.hpp?

Since v2 is still in a pre-release state, you're much better off using the current CVS state of its documentation: http://tinyurl.com/4fkr5 (http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/resources/cs-win32_metacomm/doc/html/bb...)
After running vcvars32.bat for VC8, my commands for building are now:
set PYTHON_ROOT=C:\Apps\Python23 set PYTHON_VERSION=2.3 set ICU_PATH=F:\Dev\icu-3.2 set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;"F:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows XP SP2\Include" set LIB=%LIB%;"F:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows XP SP2\Lib" tools\build\jam_src\bin.ntx86\bjam --v2 "-sTOOLS=vc-8_0" ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is not appropriate when using Boost.Build v2
Confusingly, that results in the following output:
warning: Python location is not configured warning: the Boost.Python library won't be built Building Boost.Regex with Unicode/ICU support enabled Using ICU in F:\Dev\icu-3.2/include warning: no toolsets are configured. warning: you won't be able to build C++ programs. warning: please consult the documentation. ...found 1 target...
Presumably, the "no toolsets are configured" warning occurs because vc-8_0-tools.jam does not exist under tools/build/v2.
No, it's because you haven't set up user-config.jam or site-config.jam as described in http://tinyurl.com/6tsog
Please will you let me know exactly what steps are required to build with Boost.Build v2.
Unfortunately, I'm not 100% sure what's needed; Volodya, can you help out?
Also, will that fix the compilation error in lexical_cast.hpp?
Doubtful. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

For Linux: 1. Add "using gcc ; " to user-config.jam 2. Go to boost root and run bjam install or bjam --with-thread install In fact, except for differences in specifying the toolset (see http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/differences_to_v1.html#...) the command line is the same as for V1: http://boost.org/more/getting_started.html#step5 HTH, Volodya

I checkout and build boost 4 times a day when running the regression tests. I'm using a somewhat later version of VC8.0 ( http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/boost-regression/cvs-head/developer/sum... ), click on RudbekAssociates for more details. I just checked my latest log and do NOT see that error.
Thanks, Keith MacDonald
