Hi: Ok, when trying ot compile boost with the activestate python distributing installed I geg several errors from bjam: I am attaching the output below, aditionally where do I specify the expat directories? And what do I need to use mpi? The commandlin I use was: Bjam --build-type =complete Tool output: warning: Graph library does not contain optional GraphML reader. note: to enable GraphML support, set EXPAT_INCLUDE and EXPAT_LIBPATH to the note: directories containing the Expat headers and libraries, respectively. warning: skipping optional Message Passing Interface (MPI) library. note: to enable MPI support, add "using mpi ;" to user-config.jam. note: to suppress this message, pass "--without-mpi" to bjam. note: otherwise, you can safely ignore this message. Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled. Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information (don't panic: this is a strictly optional feature). warning: No toolsets are configured. warning: Configuring default toolset "msvc". warning: If the default is wrong, your build may not work correctly. warning: Use the "--toolset=xxxxx" option to override our guess. warning: For more configuration options, please consult warning: http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/configuration.html C:/Program Files/boost/tools/build/v2/util\utility.jam:17: in utility.ungrist from module utility error: in ungrist <> error: <> is not of the form <.*> C:/Program Files/boost/tools/build/v2/build\property.jam:264: in validate1 from module property C:/Program Files/boost/tools/build/v2/build\property.jam:294: in property.validate from module property C:/Program Files/boost/tools/build/v2/build\build-request.jam:193: in convert-command-line-element from module build-request C:/Program Files/boost/tools/build/v2/build\build-request.jam:148: in build-request.from-command-line from module build-request C:/Program Files/boost/tools/build/v2\build-system.jam:554: in load from module build-system C:\Program Files\boost\tools\build\v2/kernel\modules.jam:267: in import from module modules C:\Program Files\boost\tools\build\v2/kernel/bootstrap.jam:132: in boost-build from module C:\Program Files\boost\boost-build.jam:11: in module scope from module Regards and any help apreciated.

How do I compile static libarieswith bjam and vc 8.0? it only seems to compile dlls, when I invoke bjam and it auto detects the toolset.
try "link=static" option
Or build with the option --build-type=complete to build every combination of debug/release and static/dynamic libs.
