Hi,

Til now I have used the following 2 commands to build the boost library:

bjam.exe --toolset=msvc --build-type=debug link=static threading=multi stage --stagedir=.

bjam.exe --toolset=msvc --build-type=release link=static threading=multi stage --stagedir=.

and it has worked with boost 1.37.

I don't know what you mean by "worked". Your usage of "--build-type" could never have any effect on anything.

With boost 1.38 I don't get anymore the debug builds of the library. What it is wrong with this command?

The Boost.Build invocation is documented at: http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/invocation.html and one of the example shows how to request specific values of the properties, including "variant=debug". - Volodya

Thanks for any hint!

There is no --build-type=debug option. Try just debug or variant=debug In Christ, Steven Watanabe
