Hi Alexey,

yes that is the error I receive.

I guess I am confused to what all this means
target, main target, consumable types

So that explains why boost v1.31 worked and boost v1.33 doesn't.

Now my problem is to adjust my generator, somehow, so that works with 1.33.

What I don't understand is why he wrote that there are two generators.
I thought I had one generator that produces two files but apparently
I made two generators, one for each target with one source file.

So turning to the snippet 
generators.register-c-compiler midl.compile.idl : IDL : TLB H C(%_i) C(%_proxy) C(%_dlldata) ;

by the logic above, it is 5 generators one for each target with one source.

Implicit targets...

.... crap I'm quite confused

I need to read some more....

My hunch is that my rule needs to modified.

Thanks for answering.

Andrew
