Boost-Build :

Hi,

I've downloaded and built boost 1.34. I now need
'libboost_zlib-vc80-mt-gd-1_34.lib' (I'm on visual studio 2005 as the name
suggest).

The problem I'm facing is that boost_zlib-vc80-mt-gd-1_34.lib is correctly
built however I don't know how to get the
'libboost_zlib-vc80-mt-gd-1_34.lib generated.

>From within the iostreams/build directory I run the following command;

C:\boost134\boost_1_34_0\libs\iostreams\build>C:\boost134\boost_1_34_0\bjam
--to
olset=msvc -sVC80_ROOT="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC"
"-sTOOL
S=vc-8_0" -sZLIB_INCLUDE=c:\boost134\boost_1_34_0\zlib
-sZLIB_SOURCE=c:\boost13
4\boost_1_34_0\zlib --with-iostreams threading=multi --layout=system
....patience...
....found 540 targets...

this generates the boost_zlib-vc80-mt-gd-1_34.lib for me but not the
'libboost_zlib-vc80-mt-gd-1_34.lib'.

I've tried running the above command with stage however that fails
systematically with;

C:\boost134\boost_1_34_0\libs\iostreams\build>C:\boost134\boost_1_34_0\bjam
--to
olset=msvc -sVC80_ROOT="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC"
"-sTOOL
S=vc-8_0" -sZLIB_INCLUDE=c:\boost134\boost_1_34_0\zlib
-sZLIB_SOURCE=c:\boost13
4\boost_1_34_0\zlib --with-iostreams threading=multi --layout=system
stage

notice: could not find main target stage
notice: assuming it's a name of file to create
don't know how to make <e>stage
....found 1 target...
....can't find 1 target...

I'm sure this is a dumb ass question but I've never worked with boost
before and the bloke that normally does the builds is away on holliers
(lucky git). This is the first time we're running with visual studio 2005.

Can anybody help me out. I'm sure I've missed something fundamental/basic.
Aplogies in advance if this is a really annoying question! :(

regards

G
