Hi all,

I am newbie in Boost libraries, and I'm specially interested in Graph Library (BGL). I'm working with VC++ 6.0 and I have a couple of questions about usign the library under this SDK.

Of course I've read the Boost documentation and I know VC++ 6 doesn't pass the regresion test but I'm doubty about the compilation process. Those are the steps I followed:

1.- I did the outlined comands in getting started

cd boost_1_31_0

bjam "-sTOOLS=msvc" install

As result I obtained in drive C: a boost dir with "include" and "libs" subdirs and

boost_date_time-vc6-mt-1_31.dll

boost_date_time-vc6-mt-gd-1_31.dll

boost_filesystem-vc6-mt-1_31.dll

boost_filesystem-vc6-mt-gd-1_31.dll

boost_regex-vc6-mt-1_31.dll

boost_regex-vc6-mt-gd-1_31.dll

boost_signals-vc6-mt-1_31.dll

boost_signals-vc6-mt-gd-1_31.dll

boost_thread-vc6-mt-gd-1_31.dll

and the related .lib files.

Why aren't there any .dll file of the others libraries(graph, math, type_traits...)???

2.- I executed bjam in directory: BOOST_ROOT\libs\graph\test

and what I obtained was empty directories like BOOST_ROOT\bin\boost\libs\graph\test\vector_graph_cc.test\msvc\debug

just one for every test source. I supose that is due to VC++ 6.0 is not able to compile the BGL, is that the reason???

I get something similar if I executed bjam in directory: BOOST_ROOT\libs\graph\examples

3. I did that --->

A full set of tests and status tables can be run thusly on a Windows system:

(this is just a cut of the full file ilustrating the output related to graph library)

boost-test(COMPILE) "property_iter" : "libs\graph\test\property_iter.cpp"

boost-test(COMPILE) "copy" : "libs\graph\test\copy.cpp"

boost-test(COMPILE) "vector_graph_cc" : "libs\graph\test\vector_graph_cc.cpp"

boost-test(RUN) "isomorphism" : "libs\graph\test\isomorphism.cpp"

boost-test(RUN) "subgraph" : "libs\graph\test\subgraph.cpp"

boost-test(COMPILE) "reverse_graph_cc" : "libs\graph\test\reverse_graph_cc.cpp"

boost-test(COMPILE) "graph_concepts" : "libs\graph\test\graph_concepts.cpp"

boost-test(RUN) "graph" : "libs\graph\test\graph.cpp"

boost-test(COMPILE) "filtered_graph_cc" : "libs\graph\test\filtered_graph_cc.cpp"

boost-test(COMPILE) "edge_list_cc" : "libs\graph\test\edge_list_cc.cpp"

boost-test(COMPILE) "dijkstra_cc" : "libs\graph\test\dijkstra_cc.cpp"

boost-test(COMPILE) "dfs_cc" : "libs\graph\test\dfs_cc.cpp"

boost-test(RUN) "dfs" : "libs\graph\test\dfs.cpp"

boost-test(COMPILE) "bfs_cc" : "libs\graph\test\bfs_cc.cpp"

boost-test(RUN) "bfs" : "libs\graph\test\bfs.cpp"

boost-test(COMPILE) "adj_matrix_cc" : "libs\graph\test\adj_matrix_cc.cpp"

boost-test(COMPILE) "adj_list_cc" : "libs\graph\test\adj_list_cc.cpp"

boost-test(RUN) "transitive_closure_test" : "libs\graph\test\transitive_closure_test.cpp"

What is quite surprising to me because it's suposed VC++ can't compile all BGL, http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/cs-win32.html.

Some explanation about this ???

Thanks a lot ...(I continue diving in )
