Binaries of bjam are released separately. You can actually download a binary of bjam for nt at the bottom of the Sourceforge download page here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586 Also get the latest version (1.31.0) of boost as it has an easier install stage. The command-line should be: bjam "-sTOOLS=msvc" "-sMSVC_ROOT=D:\Progra~1\Micros~1" You can avoid all that if you execute vcvars32.bat and then do: bjam "-sTOOLS=msvc" That should si -----Original Message----- From: Dernoncourt, Wayne CTR NAVAIR 3184, ,10 [mailto:wayne.dernoncourt@navy.mil] Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 10:16 AM To: Boost Users mailing list Subject: RE: [Boost-users] configuring boost on MS Visual Studio 6 where the installation drive isn't C: (I've been using MS Outlook for years and I still don't like the way it handles quoting like this!) Please pardon the newbieness, these are probably elmentary questions. It turns out the copy of Boost I have didn't have a bjam.exe (I don't know why) so I had to puzzle out how to build that (bad path, etc.) Now trying to figure out how to get Boost to build - done sort of. I don't see how this is going to examine the conflicts with the subset of RogueWave being used by the third party SDK. According to the results from the command "bjam" being executed in the D:\boost-1.30.2 directory: - failed updating 660 targets - skipped 234 targets - updated 260 targets (the actual number has scrolled off screen...) Looking back through the screens, there seem to be CALL "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Visual Studio...", well that isn't right, it lives on D:, not C:. An earlier email suggested an S setting, so I tried: bjam "VC6_ROOT=D:\Progra~1\Micros~1" and it complains about not having Python (well, it hasn't been installed, we don't need it for this project, though it seems to be very popular) and then it complains about not knowning how to make VC6_ROOT=D:\same stuff. ...found 1 target ...can't find 1 target and it quits.
