I'm having difficulties building boost 1.34.1 using the intel toolchain. Once bjam tries to invoke the compiler, I get the "Windows cannot open this file" dialog, where the file is an .obj.rsp file.
It would appear that perhaps the compiler itself is not making it into the command line, thus causing the system to try executing the .rsp file directly. I am not having this problem if I use the msvc toolchain.
Yep, it's bug report already: http://zigzag.cs.msu.su/boost.build/ticket/137 It does work if you add an entry for intel to a user-config.jam in your HOME directory, mine looks like: using intel-win : 9.1 : "c:/program files/intel/compiler/c++/9.1/ia32/bin/icl.exe" ; using intel-win : 10.0 : "c:/program files/intel/compiler/c++/10.0.025/ia32/bin/icl.exe" ; using intel-win : 8.1 : "c:/program files/intel/cpp/compiler80/ia32/bin/icl.exe" ; #using intel-win : 7 : "c:/program files/intel/cpp/compiler70/ia32/bin/icl.exe" ; #using intel-win : 6 : "c:/program files/intel/cpp/compiler60/ia32/bin/icl.exe" ; See the Boost.Build docs for more info on setting this up. And of course in most cases you can always build the source from your IDE should you prefer :-) HTH, John.
