Sorry, but I have a hard time believing that. We don't have a "VC71" toolset, so the above invocation should cause an error.
That was a typo in transcribing to the email, the exact command cut & pasted from the command prompt window that worked was: bjam -sTOOLS=VC7.1 -sVC71_ROOT="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7"
So I'm not sure of the purpose of the "" in the documentation, but they
are
misleading, at least to me.
They work for me.
Aah, I see now it wasn't the "" that was the problem it was the missing '.' in: bjam "-sTOOLS=VC71" "-sVC71_ROOT=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7" Sorry for jumping to conclusions. Out of curiosity, why then the inconsistency between VC7.1 tool and VC71_ROOT?
The Praise -
Awesome improvement in the completeness and organization of the built libs and dlls!

Definitely! I see I can have both VC7.1 and VC6 builds coexist, great! Thanks again, Jeff F
