None of build v2 documentation was in my cvs directory, so I installed version 1.32 and found it there. After running vcvars32.bat for VC8, my commands for building are now: set PYTHON_ROOT=C:\Apps\Python23 set PYTHON_VERSION=2.3 set ICU_PATH=F:\Dev\icu-3.2 set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;"F:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows XP SP2\Include" set LIB=%LIB%;"F:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows XP SP2\Lib" tools\build\jam_src\bin.ntx86\bjam --v2 "-sTOOLS=vc-8_0" Confusingly, that results in the following output: warning: Python location is not configured warning: the Boost.Python library won't be built Building Boost.Regex with Unicode/ICU support enabled Using ICU in F:\Dev\icu-3.2/include warning: no toolsets are configured. warning: you won't be able to build C++ programs. warning: please consult the documentation. ...found 1 target... Presumably, the "no toolsets are configured" warning occurs because vc-8_0-tools.jam does not exist under tools/build/v2. Please will you let me know exactly what steps are required to build with Boost.Build v2. Also, will that fix the compilation error in lexical_cast.hpp?

There's no such thing as Jam V2. The bjam you built will work just fine with Boost.Build v2, which doesn't need to be built -- it's entirely contained in interpreted .jam files. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
