My building platform : using msvc : 8.0 ;

 

I have attached som attempt in compiling some boost examples. 

Notice I have set C:\Boost\lib in my LIB environment variable (set LIB=%LIB%;c:\Boost\lib )

 

log                        => command line           | direcorty

 

file_size.log           => bjam file_size            | BOOST_ROOT\libs\filesystem\example

first.log                  => bjam first                  | BOOST_ROOT\libs\program_options\example

 

minmax_timer.log   => bjam minmax_timer   | BOOST_ROOT\libs\algorithm\minmax

 

 

file_size, simple_ls and first all work fine when adding the magic option link=static.

 

bjam minmax_timer does not work both with and wothout link=static, instead minmax_ex works fine with and without

link=static, that's why I have not listed it in my trouble list of course.

 

I would appreciate any help in solving any of my troubles. Notice I have compiled boost with

 

bjam --build-type=complete install

 

Onestly I am a bit pessimistic. Still I hope I am missing something obvious.

I can't see why link=static works so fine while without link=static all this troubles arise.
