Hi, Thanks for help, I did not understand your statement properly -> did you create your own VC 7.1 projects for the three libraries? Is this a standard procedure what people do when something is not working in boost? Could you give me your compiler/linker options and setting so that I could make something similar?

I had a quick look at the regression test for boost using vc-7_1-stlport. It seems none of the tests has been passed. The question is, what is the point to add and release something if is does not work at all?

[Nat] I haven't looked at the regression tests page -- sorry. But I can tell you that our product is built with STLport and VC 7.1, and we're using Boost filesystem, signals, Boost.Python, bind, shared_ptr, lambda, iterators, and undoubtedly a few others I can't remember off the top of my head. But as I've remarked a few times previously, we only briefly crossed swords with bjam. Then we backed away slowly, making the sign to ward off complexity, and built VC "projects" of our own for the three Boost libraries we use that need to be prebuilt: filesystem, signals and Boost.Python. It's only fair to add that we're still using Boost 1.31. The migration from 1.30 to 1.31 cost us a week, and we have since been shy about jumping into new Boost versions. I'm hoping that someday soon I'll be able to reserve a week to attempt the quantum leap to 1.33... :-) _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users -------------------------------------------------------- If you are not an intended recipient of this e-mail, please notify the sender, delete it and do not read, act upon, print, disclose, copy, retain or redistribute it.
