Hi, can anyone help me with building boost using dev-cpp? I'm trying to build boost 1.31.0 with this system, never having used it before. I have Dev-Cpp installed at C:\Program Files\Dev-Cpp, and boost extracted to C:\Code\boost_1_31_0. Using the command line: C:\Code\boost_1_31_0> bjam "-sTOOLS=mingw" "-sMINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY=c:/progra~1/dev-cpp" install bjam tries to start building various targets, and manages to invoke the compiler, but all compilations fail due to failing to find the standard include files - various manipulations of -sMINGW_INCLUDE_DIRECTORY haven't helped. This is the output of the first compile in the build: -------------------------------------------------------------- c:/progra~1/dev-cpp/bin/\g++ -c -Wall -ftemplate-depth-100 -DBOOST_DATE_TIME_POSIX_TIME_STD_CONFIG -DBOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK=1 -g -O0 -fno-inline -mno-cygwin -I"bin\boost\libs\date_time\build" -I "C:\Code\boost_1_31_0" -o "bin\boost\libs\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\mingw\debug\greg_month.obj" "C:/Code/boost_1_31_0/libs/date_time/build/../src/gregorian/greg_month.cpp" In file included from C:/Code/boost_1_31_0/boost/config.hpp:40, from C:/Code/boost_1_31_0/boost/shared_ptr.hpp:18, from C:/Code/boost_1_31_0/boost/date_time/gregorian/greg_month.hpp:14, from C:/Code/boost_1_31_0/libs/date_time/src/gregorian/greg_month.cpp:14: C:/Code/boost_1_31_0/boost/config/select_stdlib_config.hpp:20:19: utility: No such file or directory In file included from C:/Code/boost_1_31_0/boost/shared_ptr.hpp:27, from C:/Code/boost_1_31_0/boost/date_time/gregorian/greg_month.hpp:14, from C:/Code/boost_1_31_0/libs/date_time/src/gregorian/greg_month.cpp:14: C:/Code/boost_1_31_0/boost/detail/shared_count.hpp:35:61: memory: No such file or directory C:/Code/boost_1_31_0/boost/detail/shared_count.hpp:36:41: functional: No such file or directory C:/Code/boost_1_31_0/boost/detail/shared_count.hpp:37:46: exception: No such file or directory C:/Code/boost_1_31_0/boost/detail/shared_count.hpp:38:46: new: No such file or directory C:/Code/boost_1_31_0/boost/detail/shared_count.hpp:39:61: typeinfo: No such file or directory C:/Code/boost_1_31_0/boost/detail/shared_count.hpp:40:43: cstddef: No such file or directory [ snip ] C:/Code/boost_1_31_0/boost/detail/shared_count.hpp:389: confused by earlier errors, bailing out Executing through .bat file Executing command [cmd.exe] [/Q/C][C:\DOCUME~1\MJV1\LOCALS~1\Temp\jam5712-00.bat] ...failed gcc-C++-action bin\boost\libs\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\mingw\debug\greg_month.obj... gcc-C++-action bin\boost\libs\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\mingw\debug\greg_weekday.obj -------------------------------------------------------------- I would be happy to supply any output that might be useful in diagnosing my problem.

Have you tried backward slashes? (Just a thought.) BTW, you might want to use the --prefix switch to get the built libs and headers in the correct location. Just set it to the same as MINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY. Here's what works for me, but I'm just using MinGW, not Dev-Cpp (but that's just an IDE around MinGW, right?). set MINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY=e:\bin\mingw bjam -sTOOLS=mingw --prefix=e:\bin\mingw -sSUFLIB=.a -sSUFDLL=.dll install Kind regards, Daniel Schlyder -- http://bitblaze.com/
Thanks for your reply.

Yes, without any noticeable difference.

I think so, but I can't provide any details; I'm not familiar with the intricacies of the various gcc-on-windows solutions. I would like to be able to say that boost worked wth dev-cpp, though; it's a one-click install, IDE-enabled gcc installation freely available for windows.
set MINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY=e:\bin\mingw bjam -sTOOLS=mingw --prefix=e:\bin\mingw -sSUFLIB=.a -sSUFDLL=.dll install
I tried this with MINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY (and --prefix) set to c:\progra~1\dev-cpp", with no effective difference.

Well, I have managed to build now, so this is really a bug report rather than a plea for help. There were two problems: 1. Setting MINGW_INCLUDE_DIRECTORY does not translate to supplying -isystem include directives to gcc. To make things work I had to hard-code the following into the gcc-c++-acion command: '-isystem "c:/progra~1/dev-cpp/include" -isystem "c:/progra~1/dev-cpp/ include/mingw32"' 2. The name of the archiver is somehow derived from the path. bjam resolved it to "C:\Program Files\Dev-Cpp\bin\ar.exe", which is correct, but is then invoked without escaping, so windows failed to execute it correctly. Should I post this as a bug report somewhere, or will the appropriate people be following this list? Thanks for your help, Matt
