Building Boost 1.70 with VS2019?
Hi, everyone. How can I have Boost.Build use VS2019 when building Boost? I have a side-by-side installation of VS2019 on my computer, along with VS2017 also still being there. If this hasn't been tested yet, I'll wait until it has.

1. START > Command Prompt (yes, the regular Windows Command Prompt) 2. cd C:\where\is\your\boost-1.70 3. bootstrap.bat 4.

If you want to build with VS2017, instead of toolset=msvc-14.2, use toolset=msvc-14.21
I meant, msvc-14.1, not 14.21, of course. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
Thanks for the reply. So I leave the configuration file as it is and just say when running b2 that I want MSVC version 14.2?

I've just built for v142 and v140. By just running b2, no options, the latest compiler will be used. v142. Then to build for v141 in your case: .\b2 toolset=msvc-14.1 All the files will land in $(BOOST_ROOT)/stage/lib And that is fine. The boost headers will link according the compiler you choose for your projects. Best, Dan.
