Hello everyone

I'm trying to build boost 1.42 on XP with Visual Studio 2005 with the following commands in the Visual Studio Command Prompt:

...

set boost_dir=C:\Programme\boost\boost_1_42_0 bjam --build-type=complete --with-thread --with-test --with-system --with-serialization --with-regex --with-program_options --with-filesystem --with-date_time --prefix=%boost_dir% --includedir=%boost_dir% --libdir=%boost_dir%\lib --exec-prefix=%boost_dir% install

Now bjam "hangs", using 50% CPU (one core fully utilized), after this output:

For how long does it stay this way? Just want to make sure this is hang, and not an unexpectedly slow, but ultimately successful, execution.

Ooops. I let it run in the background and after 35 minutes (!!!) the build started. Versions < 1.40.0 never had this issue that it took so long before the build started. I either need a new notebook or more patience. :-)

That seems bizarre. You've said that --build-type=complete alone does not cause this problem. Can you identify a minimal set of additional options that cause this problem? Once that done, can you add additional '-n -d0 -d+10' options and send me the output? It's gonna be big, so personal email might be best choice. -d+10 enables profiling, so I'll be able to figure what piece of code is misbehaving. - Volodya
