Re: [Boost-build] How to compile boost on windows with VC7

Hi,
       yes I tried the getting started page, and since I had never used the bjam tool to build, I was not sure what command line option to use. I was using the following command 

O:\Boost\boost_1_33_0>bjam "-sTOOL=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
.NET 2003\Vc7" install

instead of,

O:\Boost\boost_1_33_0>bjam "-sVC7_ROOT=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
.NET 2003\Vc7" install

So finally figured out how to compile that. (Location of my VC7 installation is in O:\Program Files and yes the version of VC 7 that I using us VC7.1)

Thanks anyway,
Divick

  Have you tried reading the Getting Started page?

  http://boost.org/more/getting_started.html 

  Also, do you have VC7 or VC7.1?  I think VC7 is buggy enough to have problems compiling certain parts of Boost, but VC7.1 fares much better.
