Re: [Boost-users] Help to BUILD AND INSTALL Boost Libraries

8 Jun 2006

      Why don't you use boost installer? It will download and install all required libs, headers and
sources:

You will only need to set correct path to boost libs in VC8.

Hi! Jan,
I tried the one you have suggested, and I get message like ,
vc80-tools.jam: NO such file or directory.
Yes, I did visit  http://boost.org/tools/build/v1/vc-8_0-tools.html and
followed all the insturctions for vcvars32.bat and
other tips, but it did not work.
I also tried..
 bjam  -sTOOLS=msvc --v2
but it does not generate libs in C:\BOOST\.
I wonder, if I'm not executing bjam from right location, I use BOOST ROOT
DIRECTORY to execute bjam for complete installation.
For individual library like regex, I 'm able to compile from its source
using its make file.
but I can not compile library like program_options from its source file as
there is no make file available.
since regex is dependent of program_options, I'm stuck
pl comment .
Thanks for your time.

Hi
Try bjam "-sTOOLS=vc80" (NB: the zero after the 8), have you looked at
the instructions at http://boost.org/tools/build/v1/vc-8_0-tools.html
Thanks
