first of all, hi to everyone, i´m new to boost and this is my first post i´m running windows vista x64 and visual studio 2008 i´ve followed the instructions from the "getting started" section but no good results here this is what i´ve done 1- download boost build and compile bjam 3.1.16 2- download boost 1.35 source 3- place the bjam executable in the boost1.35 main folder 4- execute bjam with these parameters first try with bjam --prefix=c:\boost --toolset=msvc install all done in the visual studio shell the compilation starts and it builds a lot of libraries and files. When i try to make my first Boost program the visual studio tells me that there is a lib missing (libboost_thread-vc90-mt-s-1_35.lib) why didn´t the VS compile this??? PS: any idea where to find links to precompiled 1.35 MSVS2005 and MSVS2008 packages???? _________________________________________________________________ MSN Video. http://video.msn.com/?mkt=es-es
