I downloaded Boost and bjam today,and I'm trying to build on MSVS 2005. I run vsvars32.bat, and then I try bjam "-s VC80_ROOT= C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC -stools=vc-8_0 --builddir=C:\temp --with-python-version=2.4 --with-pydebug" install but none of the libraries get built. I keep seeing stuff like CALL "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\VC7\bin\VCVARS32.BA T" >nul "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\VC7\bin\cl" /Zm800 -nologo <snip> which fails because there, is of course, no MSVS .NET 2003 directory. As far as I can tell, there is no environment variable on my system that mentions VS 2003. Can anyone help?

Try: bjam -sTOOLS=vc-8_0 --builddir=C:\temp --with-python-version=2.4 --with-pydebug Basically your quotes are all wrong. You should not need to run vcvars32.bat. And unless you install VC8 someplace strange, you don't need to mention where it is, it will be found automatically. And please be carefull with using the exact case for the above. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo

Thanks, that worked, but now I have another problem. The instructions for the BGL say To use the GraphViz readers, you will need to build and link against the "bgl-viz" library. The library can be built by following the Boost Jam Build Instructions for the subdirectory libs/graph/build. I've tried bjam -sTOOLS=vc-8_0 --builddir=C:\temp --with-bgl-viz install bjam -sTOOLS=vc-8_0 --builddir=C:\temp --with-graph install and a variety of others, but nothing works.
