Re: [Boost-build] how to build - msvc 8.0 and stlport 5.3

I apologize for resending this question, but I'm getting desperate.
Is there no one who could give me a hint here?

I could build boost using stlport with the 1.33 release, but with 1.34 all
my attempts have failed. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Christian
