I downloaded the 1.38 build zip file and unzipped it. I then downloaded the latest bjam and unzipped that. I then used bjam to build boost, as follows:

bjam --build-dir=c:\users\myuser\boost-build --toolset=msvc stage

It all built successfully, but when I referenced libboost-thread-vc90-mt-gd-1_38_0.lib, I got a linker error where it is looking for libboost-regex-vc80-mt-gd-1_38_0.lib.

The problem is that it is requiring the vc80 lib, but bjam only built vc90 libraries. When I renamed the 90 regex library to say 80, I got a host of unresolved externals when linking. (I didn't really expect that to work, but I tried anyway).

Can someone advise what I should do to fix this problem?

Here are the stats about my system:

Windows Vista Business 32-bit

Visual C++ 6.0 installed

Visual Studio 2003 installed

Visual Studio 2005 installed

Visual Studio 2008 installed

(we develop an SDK, so I need to build in the various environments.)
