Hi, thanks very much for responding. I have followed your instructions but so far can't get it to work.
running bjam as below gives a message: msvc:9.0:C:/microsoft..../bin/cl.exe.jam: Invalid argument and : rule msvc:9.0:c:/micro..../cl.exe.init unknown in module toolset then appears to drop through with a number of in (various modules) messages.
Would greatly appreciate your help.
Please post the complete error messages, plus your user-config.jam changes, otherwise it's hard to say. However... at a guess it appears that there isn't any whitespace between the arguments in your user-config.jam. Unfortunately bjam insists on whitespace around separators like ":" so: using msvc :9.0:path-to-cl; will *not* work, but: using msvc : 9.0 : path-to-cl ; will. HTH, John.
