Re: [Boost-Users] building boost with vc7

-- why do above commands generate different libs?

I'm basically waiting to see what boost.build.v2 does with these before unifying the naming scheme

make generates a full set of libs, but bjam does not, why?

With bjam you need to tell it which runtime variants you want: bjam -sTOOLS=vc7 -sBUILD="release <runtime-link>static <threading>multi" etc.

-- no other libs do have makefiles, why?

Ask their authors :-) John.
