I tried to build boost out of the box. Everthing worked fine except the following: ------------------------------------- D:\boost\boost_1_30_0>bjam "-sTOOLS=cwpro8" ... FileClone libs\regex\build\bin-stage\boost_regex_debug.lib The system cannot find the file specified. ... FileClone libs\regex\build\bin-stage\boost_regex.lib The system cannot find the file specified. -------------------------------------- The actual file names generated in libs\regex\build\bin-stage are: libboost_regex_debug.lib and libboost_regex.lib, i.e. they have an extra "lib" prepended.

Interestingly enough the analogous dll files are: boost_regex_debug.dll and boost_regex.dll as expected.

Any ideas?

Yes, if you build the <runtime-link>static build variant then building the dll doesn't actually work - no code is exported from the dll, so no .lib files are exported from it. I'll patch the Jamfile to stop that variant from being built; in the mean time the libboost_regex files are the static boost regex libs, and should work fine. John Maddock
