Hi,

What is the most convenient way to build Boost if I need
both 32- and 64-bit builds on the same Windows machine?

I could of course install two separate copies of the entire Boost source tree,
and build one from the 32-bit Visual studio command prompt,
and the other from the 64-bit Visual Studio command prompt.
But that seems a bit wasteful.

I tried building from the same source tree twice,
once using the 32-bit command prompt and once using the 64-bit command prompt,
but that did not work.
(Nothing happened during the second build.)

Thank you,
Johan Råde
