thanks a million for that response. Its sorted me 10/10. Cheers.

I bought  "Beyond the c++ standard library , An introduction to Boost" by
Bjorn Karlsson and started reading it this weekend. Insanely impressive
stuff available in boost.I'm hooked! :) If there are any other
reccomendations for reading out there, I'll gladly take them.

thanks again and have a nice day

The boost_zlib_<tags> is the import library for the DLL. The
libboost_zlib_<tags> refers to the statically built zlib library. Try
adding
"link=static" (less the quotation marks) to the command-line if you want to

build from the iostreams' build directory.

BTW - I don't think you need the "-sTOOLS" and "-sVC80_ROOT" arguments. At
least the TOOLS argument is for BBv1 only. Try "toolset=msvc-8.0" instead
from the VS2005 command prompt.

IIRC the stage target can only be used from the Boost root directory. Try
changing directory to C:\boost134\boost_1_34_0 and exec:

<path/to/>bjam toolset=msvc-8.0 threading=multi
link=static --with-iostreams -sZLIB_SOURCE=<whatever> stage
