Re: [Boost-build] Invoking Boost from within the MSVS IDE?

Sure.  The way I do this is to create a "makefile" type project.  It's a
subcategory under "general".  Bring all your sources into this new
project.  Then, in the project properties, you can issue anything you
like in the NMake command line boxes.  Lump multiple commands together
on one line with &&, such as "foo && bar".  Output is captured just as
with traditional projects, you can double-click to jump to errors, etc.

One last tip, the shell spawned by VS does not setup environment
variables properly.  To find all the tools, libs, etc, add "vcvars32.bat
&&" to the front of your command lines.

Sorry this is a bit of a newbie question, but is it possible to
configure Microsoft Visual Studio to invoke bjam instead of nmake when
you build a solution or do you have to do so separately from the command
line?

Thanks,

Marcus
