Re: [Boost-users] Build Boost 1.50 on Windows XP for MSVS2008

I am wondering if anyone here have built 1.50 on Windows XP for MSVS2008 and can kindly share what exact commands in command line that I should use to manaully build everything from the sorce for use with MSVS2008.

I have downloaded boost 1.50 and placed it under "C:\Program Files\boost_1_50_0\" folder and can modify the folder when building.

I read here that someone tried something like: cd "C:\Program Files\boost_1_50_0\" bootstrap.bat bjam.exe

but I could not find "bjam.exe". I also suspect the building process might not be so simple.

Bootstrap is supposed to create bjam.exe. Look into that. John
