Hi All I got filesyetm from the CVS and build it using bjam (no args with VCVARS32.BAT of msvc 6.5)

Only the folder: runtime-link-dynamic was created under bin/lisbfs.lib/msvc. Other libraies (i.e. thread) build by default also runtime-link-static.

What should I do to do the build with static run time library?

bjam -sBUILD="<runtime-link>dynamic" ...whatever...

should work. Thanks it worked (I used bjam -sBUILD="<runtime-link>static")

Uh, right, sorry.

but now I want to build the filesystem using the multi-threaded run time library (static version).

-sBUILD="<runtime-link>static/<threading>multi"

In the thread library the created path is: boost_thread.lib\msvc\debug\runtime-link-static\threading-multi

(The difference is that the default library is LIBCD - in the way it is build now and maybe the compiler switch are not OK)

I don't know what you mean by that.

I want to do something equivalant... (in my opinion it should by default to build all the four (eight including debug/release) option.... )

Talk to Beman about it; he's the filesystem guy. BTW I'm pretty sure there are only six combinations, since the DLL runtime is always MT-enabled.

(I tried to read the build system doc but it is rather long :( )

I'll try to help, but my patience may be proportional to your willingness to read the docs ;-) -- David Abrahams dave@boost-consulting.com * http://www.boost-consulting.com Boost support, enhancements, training, and commercial distribution
