[Boost-users] Re: Errors building CVS root sources with VC8

None of build v2 documentation was in my cvs directory, so I installed 
version 1.32 and found it there.  After running vcvars32.bat for VC8, my 
commands for building are now:

set PYTHON_ROOT=C:\Apps\Python23
set PYTHON_VERSION=2.3
set ICU_PATH=F:\Dev\icu-3.2
set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;"F:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows 
XP SP2\Include"
set LIB=%LIB%;"F:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows XP 
SP2\Lib"
tools\build\jam_src\bin.ntx86\bjam --v2 "-sTOOLS=vc-8_0"

Confusingly, that results in the following output:

 warning: Python location is not configured
 warning: the Boost.Python library won't be built
 Building Boost.Regex with Unicode/ICU support enabled
 Using ICU in F:\Dev\icu-3.2/include
 warning: no toolsets are configured.
 warning: you won't be able to build C++ programs.
 warning: please consult the documentation.
 ...found 1 target...

Presumably, the "no toolsets are configured" warning occurs because 
vc-8_0-tools.jam does not exist under tools/build/v2.  Please will you let 
me know exactly what steps are required to build with Boost.Build v2.  Also, 
will that fix the compilation error in lexical_cast.hpp?

Thanks,
Keith MacDonald
