Thanks for this. I really appreciate your help.

In fact, 'bjam install' already builds builds libbgl-viz.lib , both for
VC7.1 and VC8 -sorry for my incorrect statement & for wasting bandwidth with
this.

I managed to compile the Cc-internet.cpp example in the BGL book in VC8 (for
some reason it's not doing it on VC7.1). But to do that, I had to add
libbgl-viz.lib to the list of additional options for the linker under
Project, Properties, Linker, and Command Line. 

The trouble is that, as far as I understand, bjam is linking libbgl-viz.lib
using the debug configuration in VC (and not the release -I get a LNK4098 if
I try to compile the code in release configuration, which means I'm using
the debug ver of libbgl-viz.lib in non-debug mode). So, although my code
compiles and runs, I suppose it's not as optimized as it could be if
libbgl-viz.lib had been built using the release configuration.

Maybe someone has experienced a similar problem and can help here? How do we
build libbgl-viz.lib to be used in release configurations?

Cheers,
Rui
