I did the suggested actions. - I am now able to build boost; I am able to use Serialization library inside a project created through Visual Studio 2005. - However, when I try to use the serialization library inside our custom build environment I still get the same linker error. Is there some bjam log file that I can examine to know what command line switches, etc. are being used for building the serialization library? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of Adam Merz Sent: Monday, October 20, 2008 5:25 PM To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Subject: Re: [Boost-users] Need help with using Boost::Serialization on AmD64, Windows, MSVC 8.0 Run the x64 Command Prompt for Visual Studio, not the normal one -- that will set the path differently so the 64-bit compiler is found. Build your own bjam rather than using a prebuilt binary by going to tools\jam\src and running build.bat. Then build Boost using your 64-bit bjam by running: tools\jam\src\bin.ntx86_64\bjam.exe --build-dir=c:\boost-build --build-type=complete toolset=msvc address-model=64 Add stage or install to the bjam commandline to have the resulting binaries put somewhere useful. _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
