Hi, Since Boost 1.55 minimum requirements include Visual C++ 2003. Since currently there is no regression report for this compiler, I'm trying to follow the steps detailed here and try to fill the gap: http://www.boost.org/development/running_regression_tests.html All the source code is downloaded, my user-config.jam only contains "using msvc ;" but it seems that Boost.Build continues to be broken for MSVC-7.1: <output> notice: Loading user-config configuration file 'user-config.jam' from 'C:/Users/igaztanaga'. notice: [msvc-cfg] msvc-7.1 detected, command: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin\cl.exe' notice: will use 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin\cl.exe' for msvc, condition <toolset>msvc-7.1 C:/boost/develop/boost_bb/src/tools\msvc.jam:1072: in configure-really *** argument error * rule generate-setup-cmd ( version : command : parent : options * : cpu : global-setup : default-global-setup-options : default-setup ) * called with: ( 7.1 : C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin : C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7 : <command>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin\cl.exe : i386 : : x86 : vcvars32.bat ) * missing argument global-setup C:/boost/develop/boost_bb/src/tools\msvc.jam:798:see definition of rule 'generate-setup-cmd' being called C:/boost/develop/boost_bb/src/tools\msvc.jam:201: in configure C:/boost/develop/boost_bb/src/tools\msvc.jam:153: in msvc.init C:/boost/develop/boost_bb/src/build\toolset.jam:43: in using C:\Users\igaztanaga\user-config.jam:49: in modules.load c:/boost/develop/boost_bb/src\build-system.jam:249: in load-config c:/boost/develop/boost_bb/src\build-system.jam:389: in load-configuration-files c:/boost/develop/boost_bb/src\build-system.jam:524: in load C:\boost\develop\boost_bb\src/kernel\modules.jam:295: in import C:\boost\develop\boost_bb\src/kernel/bootstrap.jam:139: in boost-build C:\boost\develop\boost_regression\boost-build.jam:57: in module scope </output> I can't figure out what's wrong in msvc.jam. Comments on that file suggest that MSVC-7.1 should be supported although it seems that since MSVC-8.0 the configuration script architecture changed. I'd be glad if any Boost.Build expert could have a look at this issue.
