Incidentally, I get the same result if I try:

C:\boost\boost_1_33_1>bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1" "-sVC71_ROOT=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7"

In fact, I get the same result using any reasonable set of parameters on the command line.

Doc

PS This is getting so painful and with no end in sight I'm wondering whether anyone has a Windows VC 7.1 build of 1_33_1 that I could grab or they could send? Actually, I only want the debug multi-threaded date-time library.

I do agree the building Boost with MSVC (on Windows platform, of course) is pretty painful. Though I do not have the time the review the actual points here, I do consider it worth taking some time to review the installation doc. It took me 2 full days to do trial&error + research-from-the-web in order to build Boost the first time and to realize all the tricks necessary to make it work. I'll check back to office tomorrow to see if it is possible for me to post some pointers out of the Batch file I wrote to make my own life easier... Cheers, Freddie P.S. I do have a version of Boost 1.33.1 (as well as a Boost 1.34 CVS) built with MSVC71 + STLport 5.0. Do let me know if you want it.
