Hi, just in order to make life a bit simpler I desire to write some simple imformations about how I did compile boost with vc80 and STLport, as this is not in the boost help yet. The command line is: STLport was installed in the directory D:\Projs\Libraries\BSD\STLPort\STLport-Active and I build it with the cross compilation option on. I went to the boost installation directory and run: bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-8_0-stlport" "-sSTLPORT_VERSION=5.0.2" "-sSTLPORT_5.0.2_PATH=D:\Projs\Libraries\BSD\STLPort \STLport-Active" "-sBUILD=debug release <runtime-link>static/dynamic <threading>multi <native-wchar_t>on <stlport-cross>on" "--without-python" install The option "<native-wchar_t>on" is not necessary as in vc80 *wchar_t* is already a built in type by default ( and stlport 5.0 assumes the same by default when compiled with vc80 ) I also had to modify the file tools\build\v1\stlport.jam and modify the line: STLPORT_VERSIONS(5) ?= 5.0.2 5.0.1 5.0 ; ( by adding 5.0.2 ) And I had to create the file: tools\build\v1\vc-8_0-stlport-tools.jam which I created by comparing vc-8_0-tools.jam, vc-7_1-tools.jam, and vc-7_1-stlport-tools.jam I attached those files to this post. Everything seems fine now, Hope it helps, Marcello P.S. After switching to vc80 I decided to switch back to the previous version, because too slow, and tired after three weeks of working around bugs and problems with native C++ in that release... # (C) Copyright Gennadiy Rozental 2002.
