Re: [Boost-users] bjam crashes when trying to compile boost with Visual Studio 2003

bjam keeps crashing on me.

I downloaded the executable and tried it on different machines.
Following the "Getting started" guide bjam.exe always crashes.

"...one of the most highly regarded and expertly designed C++ library
projects in the world." The build tool crashes at the first step. My
emails sent to the mailing list are ignored. What gives?

I can't believe that I'm the only person with this problem. It's not
like Windows is such an exotic platform...

All I want is a decent regexp library. Can I get precompiled binaries
for windows somehow?

Thanks,
nyenyec
