[Boost-users] Problem building Boost 1.31.0 for VC6

Hi,

I'm trying to build the Boost 1.31.0 libraries for VC6
(on WinXP).  

My installation of MSVC is "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Visual Studio\VC98".  All my user environment
variables point to this location, as they should.

I created the bjam executable, placed it
in my Boost root (C:/boost_1_31_0), and then ran bjam
with the following command:

bjam "-sTools=msvc"

However, it attempts to run the following command for
every library:

"CALL D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\VC7\bin\cl"

I don't even have .NET installed on my PC!  Why would
it be doing this?  I tried explicitly telling bjam
where vc6 is with the -sMSVC_ROOT argument, but it
always outputs the same result.  I've verified all my
user environment variables, and they all point to C:
and to VC6, as they should.

I don't know why bjam insists on trying to build the
boost libraries for Visual Studio .NET.

Any thoughts?
