Hello everyone I'm trying to build boost 1.42 on XP with Visual Studio 2005 with the following commands in the Visual Studio Command Prompt:
set boost_dir=C:\Programme\boost\boost_1_42_0 bjam --build-type=complete --with-thread --with-test --with-system --with-serialization --with-regex --with-program_options --with-filesystem --with-date_time --prefix=%boost_dir% --includedir=%boost_dir% --libdir=%boost_dir%\lib --exec-prefix=%boost_dir% install
Now bjam "hangs", using 50% CPU (one core fully utilized), after this output: D:\Downloads\boost_1_42_0>bjam --build-type=complete --with-thread --with-test --with-system --with-serialization --with-regex --with-program_options --with-filesystem --with-date_time --prefix=%boost_dir% --includedir=%boost_dir% --libdir=%boost_dir%\lib --exec-prefix=%boost_dir% install WARNING: No python installation configured and autoconfiguration failed. See http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/building.html for configuration instructions or pass --without-python to suppress this message and silently skip all Boost.Python targets 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 warning: Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled. note: Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information note: this is a strictly optional feature. Interestingly enough, just running "bjam --build-type=complete" without any other options, starts the build as expected. Any hints how to debug this? Regards James
