I am trying to build the boost::mpi (1.36) on:
1) Windows vista
2) Visual Studio 2008
3) Intel C++ 10.1 (though could switch to the built in Microsoft compiler
here if it would help)
4) With the open source MPICH2 libraries installed.

I can link, compile, and test properly according to the beginning of the MPI

intstructions (
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/mpi/getting_started.html)

Now, I added "using intel ; " and "using mpi ; " to my user-config.jam, but
I guess it can't autodetect since it spits out:

C:\apps\boost\boost_1_36_0>bjam --with-mpi
> The system cannot find the path specified.
> The system cannot find the path specified.
> The system cannot find the path specified.
> MPI auto-detection failed: unknown wrapper compiler mpic++
>
>

Does anyone know the set of config settings that would work for the
setup I described?
When I tried to get debugging info out of the build, it said something about
trying to detect windows cluster server, which I am not using (instead,
MPICH2 as above).

I guess part of the question is whether Intel C++ needs a "wrapper compiler"
as discussed later in the getting started. Since I was able to compile and
run the (non boost) MPI code, it doesn't seem so to me.
(or are there binaries for the MPI libraries? I had trouble finding them...)

  Thanks,
