Hi,
I have a strange issue when trying to bootstrapping boost itself. I have
installed MSYS2 (msys2-x86_64-20251213.exe), then installed the UCRT64
toolchain via "pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-toolchain". I've
downloaded and extracted Boost 1.90.0.
Afterwards I executed these commands inside the normal Windows command
shell:
bootstrap.bat --toolset=gcc
b2 toolset=gcc variant=release link=static runtime-link=static
threading=multi address-model=64 --stagedir=./stage
But when I try to execute the following command to see if everything worked
b2 --show-libraries
then b2 restarts the compilation:
D:\...\Boost>b2 --show-libraries
Performing configuration checks
- default address-model : 64-bit [1]
- default architecture : x86 [1]
Building the Boost C++ Libraries.
warning: Graph library does not contain MPI-based parallel components.
note: to enable them, add "using mpi ;" to your user-config.jam.
note: to suppress this message, pass "--without-graph_parallel" to bjam.
- std_wstreambuf builds : yes [2]
- std_wstreambuf : yes [2]
- has pthread_cond_clockwait : no [2]
I've cleaned everything and restarted the build, but no change. I tried
also the minimum bjam files to see if this works:
test.jam: "exe hello : hello.cpp ;"
hello.cpp: "int main() { return 0; }"
b2 -f test.jam
which yields the following output:
D:\...\Boost>b2 -f test.jam
test.jam:1: in module scope
ERROR: rule "exe" unknown in root module.
So apparently something went entirely wrong, but I don't know what
exactly I'm missing here. Any ideas?
Best regards,
Johannes
