I have a large project that I'd like to use Boost.Program Options with. Most of the other Visual Studio 2005 projects are set to link against "Multithreaded" or "Multithreaded Debug" rather than the DLL variants of same; so of course, I need to build Program Options accordingly.

I tried this: bjam.exe" release --runtime-link=static program_options

But that did not produce the library that VS wants, which is:

libboost_program_options-vc80-mt-s-1_39.lib

Try bjam release runtime-link=static --with-program_options

I tried that, it produced the following output: bjam.exe release --runtime-link=static --with-program_options WARNING: No python installation configured and autoconfiguration failed.
