I must be getting old. Building Boost used to be so much easier. I suspect I have missed something in the doc. I downloaded 1.66.0. This is for Win8.1 and MSVC 2017. From a command line bootstrap finally worked to get b2 although there were complaints about some of the options. Running b2 fails. I used to do .\b2 --prefix=xxx toolset=msvc --build-type=complete stage Almost verbatim from the Getting Started doc. stage is not a target is the error. As far as I know the only way to find targets is to wander through .jam files (finding targets was always difficult as far back as 1.27 as I recollect). Any idea what I missed and where? Larry
