Re: [Boost-Users] Building Boost with MSVC 6

I too failed to build the BGL Graphviz I/O library via the supplied v1 
Jamfile with boost_1_29_0 and boost_1_30_0.
I suspect that this problem is because the task is too difficult for 
bjam v1 (lex/yacc issues), and expect this will be fixed with v2.

On linux, the solution is to use the provided Makefile in the graph src 
directory.   The only problem this Makefile had was not cleaning up the 
file graphviz_parser.h properly (with boost_1_29_0).  It gets generated 
by lex.

On Windows, I don't exactly know how one gets lex/yacc and gcc tools.  
One solution may be for me to give you the following files.  This may 
work but I need your direct e-mail in that attachments problably don't 
work...

    graphviz_parser.tab.c
    lex.yy.c
    graphviz_parser.h
    graphviz_parser.tab.h
    yystype.h
    graphviz_digraph_lex.cpp
    graphviz_graph_lex.cpp
    graphviz_digraph_parser.cpp
    graphviz_graph_parser.cpp
