Hello,
I am having a hard time getting http://boost-log.sourceforge.net/libs/log/doc/html/log/installation.html to install correctly. The system is windows xp and I'm using visual studios 2005.
1) I have installed boost 1.44 in the default "c:\Program FIles\boost" directory using boost pro and can get other boost headers to work.
2) I then downloaded boost-log-1.0 and extracted it in "c:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_44" directory.
3) bjam was then downloaded in the same directory.
4) Using both cmd, and visual studios command line in the directory above i ran the following command.
bjam --with-log variant=release define=BOOST_LOG_USE_CHAR define=BOOST_LOG_USE_WINNT6_API stage
I then try the trivial example listed on the site and I get the errors.

I looked and do not have a copy of libboost_log-vc90-mt-gd-1_44.lib anywhere on my hard drive.
My questions are:
How do I compile this?
Is this the correct place to post this question? or should I post it somewhere else?
Any other suggestions would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Maurice
