Re: [Boost-users] A problem while building 1.38.0 for msvc

I downloaded the 1.38 build zip file and unzipped it. I then downloaded the latest bjam and unzipped that. I then used bjam to build boost, as follows:

bjam --build-dir=c:\users\myuser\boost-build --toolset=msvc stage

It all built successfully, but when I referenced libboost-thread-vc90-mt-gd-1_38_0.lib, I got a linker error where it is looking for libboost-regex-vc80-mt-gd-1_38_0.lib.

The problem is that it is requiring the vc80 lib, but bjam only built vc90 libraries.

Use toolset=msvc-8.0 to build the libraries for Visual Studio 2005 In Christ, Steven Watanabe
