I'm continuing to have trouble compiling 64-bit versions of the Boost libraries on Windows using VS2008. I've used a number of the tips posted online

Well, there are official docs at: http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/reference/tools.html#bbv2.refere...

including:

bjam --toolset=msvc-9.0 address-space=64

but watching the Task Manager I see that it always launches the 32-bit version of the compiler.

That's a contrived way. What compile command lines are produced when adding '-n' option to bjam? What output do you get if you add --debug-configuration bjam option? - Volodya
