[Boost-users] Compiling with Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition

Folks,

   I am having trouble compiling and building boost with Visual C++ 2005
Express Edition. It gets a lot of the job done with the command (under
cygwin):

 

bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-8_0" "-svc80_ROOT=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio 8\VC"

 

That directory is where my VC++ is installed. In addition the bjam
script (which I treat as a black box) could not find the vsvers32.bat
script which I ran by hand. I had to do that to get anything to work.

 

The last run that I did ignored about 126 "targets" and had errors in 82
"targets". Some (maybe all, since they all scrolled by so quickly) said
that windows.h could not be found.

 

Can anyone help me with this?

 

Thanks for your time,

KW
