Hello Chris,

as usual the cause and my suspicions were far apart. Your testing led me to dig further, thank you! It was b2 which had cached that I was basically on "no platform at all". Deleting the "bin.v2" folder helped so the values that were cached during the initial unsuccessful builds vanished.

I don’t use boost.context so I hope this was the right thing to test for you.

I ran:

b2 -j2 address-model=64 --build-type=complete --with-context stage

This compiled without error the libboost_context-vc141-... libs and and boost_context-vc141-... DLLs.


Chris.

Hello Chris,
thank you for the reply. That is however not the problem I think, I tried to follow the instructions in that thread. The rest of boost builds fine, it's just that boost.context thinks it is built on an unsupported platform (I looked at its jam file but could not make out anything obvious to me that would fail its platform tests). Does context build for you?

Please read the whole thread. I started out labelling the binaries with vc150 before changing to vc141.

Hi there,

I'm trying to build boost with VS 2017 RC but run into problems building boost.context. The project jam file somehow triggers to build the "unsupported.cpp", but I'm not proficient enough with the build system to find out how I can circumvent that.
I would be very grateful if somebody could help me out with this.

Cheers!
Michael
