Re: [Boost-users] Building Boost 1.60 with VS2015 - 32 bit compiler is always selected

1 Feb 2016

      Hello,

I am compiling with Visual Studio 2013 with a similar command line, and it
is true that I get the same strange "32 bits: yes". But after that, I am
linking against a 64bits application, and it works fine. Maybe this is
merely a bug in the b2 output ?

Cheers,
Emmanuel

Hi,
I'm trying to build Boost 1.60 with Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 in 64-bit
mode but it seems to be ignoring the address-model=64 parameter and always
builds a 32-bit version (I called b2 from the VS2015 Native tools for x64
command prompt):

I saw in some ond discussion mentions to explicitly select the compiler
version (I also have VS2010 and VS2012 installed) and environment variables
batch file (in the project-config.jam file) but this didn't help either.
Any help is really appreciated.
Best regards,
Tiago Gehring
