I believe you simply need to set VC6_ROOT environment variable to the
location where you have MS Visual Studion 6 installed.

Subject: [Boost-users] configuring boost on MS Visual Studio 6 where the
installation drive isn't C:

For a number of reasons we don't have MS Visual Studio installed on the
C: drive.  We also have another SDK installed that uses part of Rogue
Wave.  Both libraries try to define min, max and a reverse iterator
(there are items, those are the ones we've come across in an afternoon
of experimentation).  As I understand things, the ./configure script
will look for conflicts with other libraries and try to work around
them.

The ./configure script is a bourne shell script, but there is no obvious
way of running that script in Windows.  One approach I thought of was to
install cygwin to run the script, but that would have to invoke the MS
C++ compiler (invoking a Windows based tool from inside of a Linux like
environment), I'm not sure that would actually work.  Are there
alternatives that need to be explored?  Would the cygwin approach
actually work? (we are currently using MS Visual Studio 6 because of
requirement of the other SDK)
