Re: [Boost-users] How to suppress vcvarsall.bat call?

8 Mar 2009

      Hi Peter.
...
When compiling Boost 1.38.0 with this command, bjam 3.1.17 insists on 
calling vcvarsall.bat before executing the actual build commands.
bjam -q -sNO_COMPRESSION=1 --build-type=complete --abbreviate-paths 
--toolset=msvc-8.0 architecture=x86 address-model=32
However my environment already includes all necessary settings to 
execute cl, link,...
So I would like to skip the call to vcvarsall.bat. Is this possible 
using a bjam command line argument?
As I recall it is. When you initialize your msvc toolset pass it an 
empty <setup> property or something like that. Look at the init() rule 
in the msvc.jam toolset module for more detailed information.

   Hope this helps.

   Best regards,
