I can't. I followed this procedure but failed
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2629421/how-to-use-boost-in-visual-studio... But, when running bootstrap there was this error .\build.bat is not recognized In fact I have boost-build.jam but not build.bat in my root. Anyway can you outline your compiling procedure ? I have VS2010 and Boost 1.51
This is indeed not the proper way to compile recent boost versions. You should use b2 (that is the build tool, replacing bjam). The instructions are there: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/more/getting_started/windows.html (or there for 1.51: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_51_0/more/getting_started/windows.html but I believe it's the same) My personal boost build script look like that: call bootstrap.bat call b2 <insert your options here> install The actual script is (I'm building for VS2010, vs2012 in both 32 and 64bit - I use this batch script outside the boost directory where I got all the sources): cd .\boost call bootstrap.bat call b2 --prefix=. --buid-type=complete toolset=msvc-10.0 architecture=x86 install call b2 --prefix=. --buid-type=complete --libdir=./lib/x64 toolset=msvc-10.0 architecture=x86 address-model=64 install call b2 --prefix=. --buid-type=complete toolset=msvc-11.0 architecture=x86 install call b2 --prefix=. --buid-type=complete --libdir=./lib/x64 toolset=msvc-11.0 architecture=x86 address-model=64 install Hope it helps.
