Building Boost 1.60 with VS2015 - 32 bit compiler is always selected
Hi, I'm trying to build Boost 1.60 with Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 in 64-bit mode but it seems to be ignoring the address-model=64 parameter and always builds a 32-bit version (I called b2 from the VS2015 Native tools for x64 command prompt): -- C:\Users\Tiago\code\boost_1_60_0>*b2 --toolset=msvc-14.0 variant=release link=static threading=multi address-model=64 architecture=x86* Performing configuration checks *- 32-bit : yes* - arm : no - mips1 : no - power : no - sparc : no - x86 : yes ....

All rights reserved. usage: cl [ option... ] filename... [ /link linkoption... ] --- I saw in some ond discussion mentions to explicitly select the compiler version (I also have VS2010 and VS2012 installed) and environment variables batch file (in the project-config.jam file) but this didn't help either. Any help is really appreciated. Best regards, Tiago Gehring
Hello, I am compiling with Visual Studio 2013 with a similar command line, and it is true that I get the same strange "32 bits: yes". But after that, I am linking against a 64bits application, and it works fine. Maybe this is merely a bug in the b2 output ?

I've seen this with earlier Boost releases as well with VS2013; I don't think it's a Boost 1.60 issue specifically. Regards, Roger
Hi, Thanks for the replies. You are right, I did a rebuild of boost passing now the architecture=x86 parameter (I think that I left it out the first time - I think that I saw somewhere that this has to be explicitly specified) and the code generated is definitely 64-bit (although it still shows "32-bit: yes" during the build).

*- 32-bit : yes*
Tiago, this configuration checks figures the default address model of the compiler, not the final address model that will be used. It possibly can be reworded a bit.

That does not matter much, since Boost.Build picks the exact compiler binary based on requested version and parameters - it does not directly use 'cl' from PATH. -- Vladimir Prus http://vladimirprus.com
