Hello,

 

     I was able to get "a fair chunk" of boost to compile, but it failed on recognizing wtypes.h.  I understand this has to do with the Microsoft Platform SDK.  I had VS80COMNTOOLS and VS80_ROOT set OK, I thought, so I tweaked vsvars32.bat to try to get it to find the Platform SDK.  It looked liked this and produced the following result:

 

@SET VSINSTALLDIR=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8
@SET VCINSTALLDIR=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC
@SET FrameworkDir=C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework
@SET FrameworkVersion=v2.0.50727
@SET FrameworkSDKDir=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\PlatformSDK
@if "%VSINSTALLDIR%"=="" goto error_no_VSINSTALLDIR
@if "%VCINSTALLDIR%"=="" goto error_no_VCINSTALLDIR

@echo Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 x86 tools.

@goto end

:error_no_VSINSTALLDIR
@echo ERROR: VSINSTALLDIR variable is not set.
@goto end

:error_no_VCINSTALLDIR
@echo ERROR: VCINSTALLDIR variable is not set.
@goto end

:end

QUESTION:  How do I "retweak" vsvars32.bat, assuming that I did not change anything else by accident, such that the error messages do not present?

Hello,

 

     Thank you for the correction, again.  I appreciate it - I should know to always paste and compare.  The following is what I get now:

You missed the error I pointed out. Look at the command I posted
carefully, and compare it with the one you used.
