Keep in mind that if you're building boost for VS2005 and 2010 you might have to change the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows CurrentInstallFolder and CurrentVersion regkeys to point at the right windows SDK, otherwise boost will always try to compile for 2010. At least I had to do that when building in parallel for 2008 and 2010. Jeremy

I have installed MSVS-2005 and MSVS-2010 in my development PC. I noticed that contrary to other libraries, every boost installation seems to be specific for:
- The Boost version (duh!)
- The MSVC Version
For instance: libboost_system-vc80-mt-1_43.lib
I would prefer to have all the -vc80- and -vc100- library files in the same folder, but perhaps I am looking for trouble? Then there is the issue of the includes.
You shouldn't have any trouble at all, I do this all the time, as do most of our test runners,
John.
