[Nat] We don't use bjam at all. We're using three "built" Boost libraries, and we hand-defined projects for each of them within our own VS .NET 2003 solution. This way we're sure the build configuration for these Boost libraries matches our own code, and we can use the debugger.

Some questions: 1) How do I avoid the following warning output when building with bjam?

[Nat] Don't use bjam :-)

2) I am used to having solution and project files for Microsoft Development Environment (MDE) using Visual C++. bjam apparently does not create these files. Can I get bjam to create project files?

[Nat] I don't believe it can do that. Maybe somebody out in cyberspace has written a conversion utility to read bjam files and generate equivalent .vcproj files -- but I wouldn't count on it. When we went spelunking through the Boost source tree, we found a .dsp file for one of the libraries we're using, and VS .NET 2003 was willing to read that and convert it to a .vcproj file. But really, it wasn't that hard to hand-create the other project files. Once you know where the appropriate source directory is, you just include every .cpp file in that directory.
