Hi! Jan,

I tried the one you have suggested, and I get message like ,
vc80-tools.jam: NO such file or directory.

Yes, I did visit  http://boost.org/tools/build/v1/vc-8_0-tools.html and
followed all the insturctions for vcvars32.bat and
other tips, but it did not work.

I also tried..
 bjam  -sTOOLS=msvc --v2

but it does not generate libs in C:\BOOST\.

I wonder, if I'm not executing bjam from right location, I use BOOST ROOT
DIRECTORY to execute bjam for complete installation.

For individual library like regex, I 'm able to compile from its source
using its make file.
but I can not compile library like program_options from its source file as
there is no make file available.
since regex is dependent of program_options, I'm stuck

pl comment .

Thanks for your time.
