Re: [Boost-users] MS VC2005 + Boost Setup

I have some trouble to setup the Boost library with VC++ 2005. I am rather new to the library, so I could need some help. I have downloaded Version 1.33 and extracted the files to location A ("d:\programs\boost" in my case). Visual Studio is located in location B ("d:\programs\VS"). What is the best way to build the library files? I especially need the compiled library of the "signal" class.

in short, set VC80_ROOT=d:\programs\VS\VC and make sure you do *not* have MSVCDir set before invoking bjam. More details at http://www.boost.org/tools/build/v1/vc-8_0-tools.html

Since I have no experience with this bjam tool any help would be appreciated.

I assume you already have bjam.exe B.
