Hmm strange, I'll look into it.

Did you call the gsoap rule anywhere in your Jamfile?

And to preemt some questions...

rule gsoap ( target : header )
{
if ! $(gIN_LIB_INCLUDE)
{
gsoap-exe on $(target) = V:\\gsoap-win32-2.2.3\\soapcpp2.exe ;
gsoap-action $(target) : $(header) ;
}
}
actions gsoap-action
{
#global n'importe q..
$(gsoap-exe) $(>)
}

...I'm guessing that soapcpp2.exe always outputs to soadClient.cpp?

And after the exe cl... add:

gsoap soapClient.cpp : soapClient.h ;

...Here I'm guessing you have such a header and is what you meant above?

And there's probably some path/grist/target things to add to make the above
really work in all circumstances.

I thought the msvc toolset in V2 supports vc7x.
