Re: [Boost-users] Problems: Building Boost with VC7 and STLport4.6.2

Hi!

I had the same problem a few weeks ago. You've got to use the following command line.

For debug libs build\bjam.exe -sTOOLS=vc-7_1-stlport "-sBUILD=<define>BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING" "->sSTLPORT_4.6.2_PATH=D:\Alexander...." "-sstlport-iostreams=on" --with-date_time stage

You need to build release libs with an extra step:

build\bjam.exe -sTOOLS=vc-7_1-stlport "-sBUILD=release <define>BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING" "->sSTLPORT_4.6.2_PATH=D:\Alexander...." "-sstlport-iostreams=on" --with-date_time stage

Thanks a lot for your reply! I tried your method and it works! All the compiler errors disappeared. I think the important thing is to turn the feature "stlport-iostreams" on. But the linker still asks me for something like "stlport_vc6.lib". I'm using vc7 now. And I built STLport 4.6.2 also with vc7. But the linker still asks me for something related to vc6. Does any one know the possible causes?
