I too am having similar problems to Keith Weintraub with regard to failed and skipped targets. I applied the suggested addition of the Platform SDK, to the include paths, but in the process I had to reboot my machine (for unrelated reasons). Since then, I get virtually nothing actually built (quite a leap backwards really :-) The symptom I get is related to expansion of the compiler name, as the messages are all of the type: '/Zm800' is not recognised as an internal command... etc or '/nologo' is not ... The environment is Win2K with VC6 and the Intel compiler v8.0 (9 on order). The command line is bjam "-sTOOLS=intel-win32" install Now there's a certain familiarity about this problem, but at my age, memory doesn't serve me all that well. So what's the answer? -- Rob Marsden Gistix (Northern) Limited
