[Boost-users] Building boost 1.34.1 with MSVC 8 (64-bit)

From: Eric Woodruff (eric.woodruff_at_[hidden])

Hello,

I hope John Maddock is reading this as he had some knowledge of the
Intel compiler problem. Similar to the thread quoted below, I am getting
the  "Windows cannot open this file" dialog when trying to build boost
using VC8 as 64-bit. (Doesn't have /this/ problem when I don't set
address-model=64 or use the VC7.1 x86 compiler for 32-bit builds.) This
is with boost-jam-3.1.16-1-ntx86.

I've tried adding the full path to cl.exe in user-config.jam without
success. For historical reasons, I am using an nmake Makefile (under a
Cygwin environment) to fit the boost build into an existing build
system. It essentially operates as follows:

tar jxf boost_1_34_1.tar.bz2

echo using msvc : 8.0 : "C:/WINDDK/3790.1830/bin/win64/x86/amd64/cl.exe" ; > boost_1_34_1\tools\build\v2\user-config.jam

echo using stlport : 5.1.5 : c:\cygwin\home\ewoodruff\build\trunk\winnt\amd64\x64-WINNT\TOOLS\usr\include\stlport c:\cygwin\home\ewoodruff\build\trunk\winnt\amd64\x64-WINNT\TOOLS\usr\lib ; >> boost_1_34_1\tools\build\v2\user-config.jam

sed -ie 's,\\\\,/,g' boost_1_34_1\tools\build\v2\user-config.jam

cd boost_1_34_1 && "c:\cygwin\home\ewoodruff\build\trunk\winnt\amd64\boost\boost-jam-3.1.16-1-ntx86\bjam.exe" "-q"  "--toolset=msvc-8.0"  "--prefix=c:\cygwin\home\ewoodruff\build\trunk\winnt\amd64\x64-WINNT\TOOLS"  "runtime-link=shared"  "link=static"  "threading=multi"  "stdlib=stlport-5.1.5"  "address-model=64"  "--without-python"  "--without-wave" stage install

Once the first directory leaf is created is when the .rcp file tries to
get run. Here's the content of that file:

$ cat bin.v2/libs/serialization/build/msvc-8.0/debug/address-model-64/link-static/stdlib-stlport-5.1.5/stdlib-stlport-5.1.5/threading-multi/basic_archive.obj.rsp 

"libs\serialization\src\basic_archive.cpp" -Fo"bin.v2\libs\serialization\build\msvc-8.0\debug\address-model-64\link-static\stdlib-stlport-5.1.5\stdlib-stlport-5.1.5\threading-multi\basic_archive.obj"   -TP /Z7 /Od /Ob0 /W3 /GR /MDd /Zc:forScope /Zc:wchar_t /favor:blend /wd4675 /EHs /Gy -c 

-DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 

-D_STLP_DEBUG=1 

-D_STLP_DEBUG_UNINITIALIZED=1 

-D_STLP_USE_DYNAMIC_LIB=1 

"-I." 

"-Ic:\cygwin\home\ewoodruff\build\trunk\winnt\amd64\x64-WINNT\TOOLS\usr\include\stlport"

I'm also curious, is stdlib-stlport-5.1.5 supposed to be in the path twice?

Thanks in advance,

Eric
