 Hi,

 my name is Marco Pappalepore, in case of need write me at crillion tiscali
 it.

   I'm trying to build boost version 1.45.0 on my system:
 windows vista (business version and ultimate version) sp2
 microsoft visual c++ express 2010
 boost 1.45.0
 bjam 3.1.18

 Like usual, to build boost I follow these steps:
 1) I extract boost in a version-named folder (.../boost/boost_1_45_0)
 2) I create an empty folder for the build (.../boost/boost_1_45_0_build)
 3) I copy bjam.exe in the source folder (.../boost/boost_1_45_0)
 4) I open a Visual Studio Command Prompt(2010) (command prompt with
 environment variables for visual studio)
 5) I launch this command(which used to work with the latest versions of
 the library, including 1.44.0):

 bjam --prefix="..\boost_1_45_0_build" install

 6) I get an error (while usually the build process started and was
 successful with earlier versions of the library). The message is this:

 warning: No toolsets are configured.
 warning: Configuring default toolset "msvc".
 warning: If the default is wrong, your build may not work correctly.
 warning: Use the "toolset=xxxxx" option to override our guess.
 warning: For more configuration options, please consult

 so, is this a problem with the build system ?
 or should I use a different set of commands/operations ?

 many thanks,

      Marco
