Hi!

I try to compile boost using bjam and toolset=msvc-7.1. To comply with the rest of our libraries I need boost to build without the native wchar_t type.

So far none of the solutions I have found seem to work ("snative-wchar_t=off", "-sBUILD=off")

In boost\tools\v2\tools\msvc.jam I found a line that adds /Zc:wchar_t to the CFLAGS. Removing that entry didn't help either.

I imagine because native wchar_t is now the default -- you would have to replace that option with the one that explicitly calls for non-native wchar_t. - Volodya
