Is Anyone going to tell me the way to Build BOOST?
Hi, at boost root directory i do: C:\Program Files\boost> bjam ^More? --build-dir=C:\Program Files\boost \directory_1 ^More? --toolset=gcc stage the error message is the following :could not find main target assuming it's a name of a file to create could not find main target C:\Program Files\boost \directory_1 assuming it's a name of a file to create... note:C:\Program Files\boost is my boost root directory, stage a subdirectory of directory_1 Be very clear THANK YOU, David _________________________________________________________________ Découvrez le blog Messenger Le Meilleur du Web : toutes les vidéos qui buzzent le plus sur Internet ! http://meilleurduweb.spaces.live.com/

Can you remove those "^More?" lines? I have no idea what they mean.
the error message is the following :could not find main target assuming it's a name of a file to create could not find main target C:\Program Files\boost \directory_1 assuming it's a name of a file to create...
Please try the following command line: bjam --build-dir="C:/Program Files/boost/directory_1" --toolset=gcc stage and make sure there are not "More" lines anywhere. - Volodya
Hi, I get the same message using your command line. I repeat: at boost root I do like explained section 5.2.4 here http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started/windows.html#build-directory: C:\Program Files\boost> bjam ^ More? --build-dir=C:\Program Files\boost\directory_1 ^ More? --toolset=gcc stage C:\Program Files\boost\directory_1 is the build directory I have chosen, and stage is a subdirectory of it. They say: "Building the special stage target places Boost library binaries in the stage\ subdirectory of your build directory" but instead i get the error message. My question is about section 5.2.4 here http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started/windows.html#build-directory: and about nothing else. Tell me why the procedure indicated goes wrong and why I get this error message. Maybe a wrong environment variable or anything else but i have no idea what it is. THANK YOU, David

Hello, the best thing you can do, is ask someone from the mailing list to help you by using the remote desktop or VNC. Otherwise this will be a never ending story. Probably this should be a person you trust, since they will get access to you PC remotely. And you should discuss details in private maling session.

Hi, FWIW, I tried the following command and it seems to work (the build is going on as I am typing this mail). Following are some of the output.

Hi,

This is not possible. Did you try, *EXACTLY* this: bjam --build-dir="C:/Program Files/boost/directory_1" --toolset=gcc stage ? What happens if you try *EXACTLY*: bjam --toolset=gcc stage ?
My question is about section 5.2.4 here http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started/windows.html#build-directory: and about nothing else. Tell me why the procedure indicated goes wrong and why I get this error message. Maybe a wrong environment variable or anything else but i have no idea what it is.
Dave, the referenced page goes to say: C:\WINDOWS> cd C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_34_1 C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_34_1> bjam ^ More? --build-dir=C:\temp\build-boost ^ More? --toolset=msvc stage 1. Is this caret syntax known to work on all Windows versions? 2. Given that it's not a common syntax, I think it should be explained in text, not as a footnote. - Volodya

1. Is this caret syntax known to work on all Windows versions? 2. Given that it's not a common syntax, I think it should be explained in text, not as a footnote.
I also suggest that you choose a directory with spaces in it so that it is clear that you need to quote the path. C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_34_1> bjam ^ More? --build-dir="C:\temp\build boost" ^ More? --toolset=msvc stage That may remove some user confusion. David
