Yes, you are right, there still seems to be the limitation to the
"old" MAX_PATH constant.

Thank you again, this worked beautifully :)
Boost provides surprising solutions even to anachronistic problems
caused by M$ ;-)

I meant MS IDE / Visual Studio

I already compiled the code with this macro...
The problem must be something else, can see it though :-(

Some more informations.
(1) Everything compiles, links and runs with bjam in different variants.
(2) Everyhing compiles, links and runs with the IDE, when using the STL from MS.
(3) Projects that do not use compiled boost-library binaries compile,
link and run using stlport

(4) All static boost library binaries are generated to

<BOOST_ROOT>/stage/lib

using
bjam toolset=msvc-9.0~stlport5.2 -a stdlib=stlport
  --with-date_time --with-test --build-type=complete stage

obviously the libs are found there

using relative path in the project settings:
Additional library directories: ../../../../stage/lib;

In addition these paths are set for the IDE via the tools-options menu:
tools/options/project settings/vc++ directories:
library files: <my-stlport-location>\STLport-5.2.1\lib
include files:<my-stlport-location>\STLport-5.2.1\stlport

the generated command lines are:
compile:
/Od /I "../../../../" /D "WIN32" /D "_DEBUG" /D "_CONSOLE" /D
"_STLP_DEBUG=1" /D "_UNICODE" /D "UNICODE" /Gm /EHsc /RTC1 /MDd

Any help appreciated!
