Can anyone tell me the steps to build boost_1_34_1 for 64 bit platform..??
Configuration I am using is: OS: Windows XP professional x64 Edition Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor
And I am using visual studio 2005.
I got steps to build boost_1_33_1 at site http://en.allexperts.com/q/C-1040/Building-boost-libraries-64.htm
And tried to use same steps to build boost_1_34_1 for 64 bit platform but python library was not built and thread library was also not built and there were some other issues also.
I had to build Boost 1.34.1 for Win64, VS 2005 a couple weeks ago. I unpacked the Boost tarball and ran the following bjam command line: bjam --prefix=C:\Boost64 --build-dir=D:\boost-build\x64 --toolset=msvc address-model=64 install I verified that thread libraries were built, but I haven't tested them. Also, I am not using Python, but it should be the same procedure as Python for Win32. This is basically the same bjam command as for 32-bit compilation. The important differences are: address-model=64 Requests a 64-bit build --prefix=C:\Boost64 Do NOT put your 64-bit Boost in the same directory as your 32-bit Boost. You'll overwrite the libraries. --build-dir=D:\boost-build\x64 The same holds true for the indermediate files. This should point to an empty directory. HTH Andrew Holden
