Hi, I would like to use the Boost RegEx Library. Somehow I failed installing it (WinXP, VC6). Is there a step by step instruction to get boost running under this configuration? The steps I took so far: 1) Set the MSDevDir and MSVCDir EnvVars by hand.
Why not call the vcvars32.bat file to do it for you?
2) Compiled BJam and copied it to the boost root. 3) Execute bjam "-sTOOLS msvc" install
Should be bjam -sTOOLS=msvc install But if the library built OK, then don't worry.
4) Set the path for include files and libraries in Tools->Options->Directories to the folder I unzipped Boost to.
Got the following error messages while trying to compile a simple regex example :(
I've never seen anything like those messages before. The regex lib most certainly does work with VC6 as well! Can I suggest you try compiling one of the example programs that comes with regex? Also make sure you're using the default VC6 build options to begin with: it shouldn't matter one jot what options you use, but I can't rule out the possibility that some obscure combination of compiler switches produces those errors. So start with the defaults, and then add any extra options you require one at a time and see what if anything triggers the issue. Bemused, John Maddock.
