Hi there, it's not as easy as I thought it would be. I copied the guid files in the appropriate folders in my boost/ directory. And then I tried: bjam -sTOOLS=vc-7_1 --with-guid But that doesn't work. So, how do I do that? I really have no clue about bjam, etc. Thanks in advance, Christian

I also know little about bjam, but your line looks like you are using version 1 of bjam and the guid library only has scripts to be build with version 2 of bjam. Check with bjam --version I belive. For myself, if I want to just build the guid library, then I use: %BOOST_ROOT%\libs\guid\build\bjam

But that doesn't work. So, how do I do that? I really have no clue about bjam, etc.

Thanks in advance, Christian

Hope this helps. Andy.

Hi Andy, sorry but there is no --version option. When executing bjam -help there is no version number either. But I have downloaded the latest version of bjam. I think it was version 3.1.x and it still doesn't work. How is it suppose to work? Christian On 2/19/07, Andy wrote:

Alright I'm getting the same output. I haven't know that I need to set some environmental variables. So, back to my question how do I build the guid id lib? This is what I tried: shell> set BOOST_ROOT=C:\boost shell> set BOOST_BUILD_PATH=C:\boost\tools\build\v2 shell> bjam --version Boost.Build V2 (Milestone 10) Boost.Jam 03.1.13 shell> bjam -sTOOLS=vc-7_1 --libdir=c:\boost\lib --with-guid stage C:/boost/tools/build/v1\testing.jam:12: in load rule difference unknown in module testing.

Any ideas? Do you think I should get the latest source code tree, maybe? Thanks for you help, Christian

This is good; it's obviously using BBv2.

shell> bjam -sTOOLS=vc-7_1 --libdir=c:\boost\lib --with-guid stage

OK, -sTOOLS=... is a BBv1-style option. You need toolset=msvc

C:/boost/tools/build/v1\testing.jam:12: in load ^^

Whoops; it seems to have picked up a v1 jamfile. I suggest cd C:\boost\tools\build del /f/s/q v1 and then try the whole thing again.

rule difference unknown in module testing.

The rest looks OK, in principle.

Hi there, some steps further, I guess. I did the suggested steps from David.

Hi Christian, this should be --toolset=... -- HTH dave

Thanks David, the output now is: C:\boost>bjam --toolset=msvc --libdir=c:\boost\lib --with-guid stage warning: no toolsets are configured. warning: you won't be able to build C++ programs. warning: please consult the documentation. error: Unable to find file or target named error: '/boost/serialization' error: referred from project at error: 'libs/guid/build' The path %BOOST_ROOT%/boost/serialization is valid.

Hm, i just tried to build the guid lib. Here is what i did. (current boost from cvs + guid_v5.zip from vault) 1) Start msvc command prompt (Start/Programs/Microsoft VS XXX/Tools/Visual Studio XXX Tools/Visual Studio XXX Command Prompt) 2) set BOOST_ROOT = X:\path_to_boost 3) set BOOST_BUILD_PATH = X:\path_to_boost\tools\build\v2 3) cd into x:\path_of_guid_lib\libs\guid\build 4) bjam --toolset=msvc-8.0 link=static bjam now builds Boost.Serialization + Boost.Threads + the guid library. I had to use link=static, because there was an error building the wserialization.dll's, and i don't have time to figure out why now. But i hope this works for you, too. -- Regards, dave

It isn't the version of bjam that matters, so much...

D:\>bjam --version Boost.Build V2 (Milestone 10) Boost.Jam 03.1.13

That's what matters.

Note: Version 1 of bjam does not have a --version option, only version 2

It isn't part of bjam but of Boost.Build, which is a collection of .jam files. If Christian is trying this atop a boost-1.33.1 installation, he should type bjam --v2 --version and then, in $BOOST_ROOT/libs/guid/build, bjam --v2 -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
