[boost] 1.33.1 [regex] compile with vc2005 express: fatal error C1071
I download vc2005 express and install Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 SP1. I use Set Win Svr 2003 32-bit Build Env (Retail) to set the right platform environment and use the script below(vc2005 express and sdk are installed on the default directory) set BOOST_ROOT=c:\opt\boost set PYTHON_ROOT=c:\python set PYTHON_VERSION=2.4 call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat" @set BZIP2_SOURCE=c:\opt\bzip2 @set ZLIB_SOURCE=c:\opt\zlib @set TOOLS=vc-8_0 bjam "-sBUILD=debug release <runtime-link>static/dynamic <threading>multi" --with-regex stage >log.txt 2>err.txt I got the error below ============================== vc-C++ bin\boost\libs\regex\build\boost_regex.dll\vc-8_0\debug\threading-multi\regex_traits_defaults.obj regex_traits_defaults.cpp C:\opt\boost\libs\regex\build\../src/regex_traits_defaults.cpp : warning C4819: The file contains a character that cannot be represented in the current code page (936).

Since I do not own a copy of VC8, I have not tried to compile boost 1.33.1 on it.

It builds with VC8 express OK for me, but I think this relates to the code page used on your machine - it's interpreting some of the characters in the comments as the start of a multi-byte sequence, and that's why the closing */ isn't found (it is there it's just not interpretted as such). I'm attaching a version with the comments deleted, can you let me know if this fixes the issue? Thanks, John.

Thanks,

The attachment file still has the same problem. But I follow your hint and delete all the comments at the end of line from line 432 to line 485(the comments under euro symbol) and from line 627 to line 661 (also the comments under euro symbol). the building succeeds. Thank you for your help! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
