I'm trying to figure out what is wrong with my system, lots of google searching and everything seems to check. My |%VS90COMNTOOLS% is good and my VS works fine in every respect I use it. But when I try a 'build' in ../v2/engine even with 'msvc' or 'vc9' as an argument it just loops like: C:\cpp\boost_1_47\tools\build\v2\engine>build ### ### "Could not find a suitable toolset." ### ### You can specify the toolset as the argument, i.e.: ### .\build.bat msvc ### ### Toolsets supported by this script are: borland, como, gcc, gcc-nocygwin, ### intel-win32, metrowerks, mingw, msvc, vc7, vc8, vc9, vc10 ### ### ### "Could not find a suitable toolset." ### ### You can specify the toolset as the argument, i.e.: ### .\build.bat msvc ### Over and over until I control c it. No, I have yet to dig into the workings of build.bat for a better answer. I was hoping someone knew of the top of their head what may be my problem. I had last built 1_42 without a hitch back when it was released. But I've started using boost::geometry and need the lib for boost::filesystem. I tried to mix 1.42 filesystem and 1.47 geometry headers, but it bumps the filesystem lib needed to 1.47, I can't seem to cheat. ~~ cannot open file 'libboost_filesystem-vc90-mt-gd-1_47.lib' Thanks, Dan. |

Are you using the Visual Studio command prompt?

Thanks Steven, that was it. I skipped right to 5.3.1 in getting started to build the libs, past, 4.2 'Or, Build From the Command Prompt' where it says use the VS command prompt to build projects. Best, Dan.
