As subject says - I am in need of information about on how to compile boost in Borland c++ Builder 6 on operation system Windows XP. I have been searching everywhere, instructions are either too complicated or badly written - in any case I still havent found the answer. I hope you'll help me, I'm realy stuck and you guys are probably my last resort. Looking forward to answers or hints, cheers.

Please follow the getting started guide: http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html The toolset you need to use is "borland", so as someone else suggested, you really just need to do a : bjam -sTOOLS=borland stage or bjam -sTOOLS=borland install depending on where you want the binaries to end up.

oky but when i compile it i still get failed updating 104 targets, skipped 168 targets, updated 2 targets... And when i try to compile a program using boost i get: Mixing a dll doost library with a static runtime is a really bed idea... I am using multi threading in borlands compiler. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

You need to compile your project using dynamic RTL. To do this, in the Borland IDE select the project, then Options. On the Linker tab tick the "Use dynamic RTL" checkbox. Depending on which version of Boost you are using, some libraries won't compile. For v1.33.0 you might like to exclude Wave since that won't compile:

...

bjam -sTOOLS=Borland --without-wave stage

The filesystem library will complain about generating a dynamic link library as it's not supported for this compiler: you'll have to ignore that. You can stil use filesystem though. Check also that you have got Spirit v 1.6.x as the version shipped with recent Boost won't compile. See instructions here: http://www.boost.org/libs/serialization/doc/release.html You may also need to replace spirit.hpp in your Boost include directory.

Any idea?

The tuple tests all work for me with Borland 5.5.1 and 5.6.4, so I'm confused, are you using a weird Borland C++ version? Unpatched maybe? What does __BORLANDC__ report: it should be 0x564. John.

It's probably the unpatched version then: if you buy the full product be sure to register and get Update 4, without it the compiler is rather broken as far as Boost is concerned. John.

It was build by the 'bjam' process. Its final location depends on whether you specified 'install' or 'stage' when invoking bjam. You need to add the folder where this file is located to the lib paths (under directories/conditionals in project options). Cheers Russell

I'm not up on the borland products, I note that there are some other tools files for borland: borland-5_5_1-tools.jam borland-5_6_4-tools.jam perhaps one of those would be more appropriate

I think it automatically picks up the correct 1. I just use bjam -sTOOLs="borland" stage That puts them in the boost/stage folder. I think install may create a folder in the root of C and put them in there. You'll have to look around or read the instructions on the getting started page as to where the files will be done. But the whole point of building boost using bjam is to generate these lib files, so if you've built it correctly, then you have them. I you don't have them, you haven't built it correctly.

Which targets? I suspect Borland's compiler is too broken to compile all of Boost.

...

It is. If you want to use Boost as a dll then YOU MUST USE A DLL RUNTIME, this is a general compiler requirement, not a Boost one. Select a dll runtime from the C++ Builder IDE. However: my understanding is that TeamB recomend static linking under all curcumstances for this compiler, so you want to switch to use static Boost libs. John.
