Re: [Boost-users] Compiling with VC8 gives libraries and DLLs withvc71

Thx.  Apparently I messed up by using "bjam -sTOOLS=vc-8_0_tool install"
instead.

A related question:  The reason I found this is because I ported a
project to VC8 and the linker barfs, asking for the vc8 infix in the
libraries.  I assume a macro is defining the infix, am I correct.?

The library names come from the toolset you select to build with, you
need to use:

bjam -sTOOLS=vc-8_0 install

to get names with "vc80" in them.
