[1.34.0] VC8 Express Compilation
Hi all! I have a question, does someone know how the build script finds out where the Platform SDK is installed? Visual C++ Express Edition does not come bundled with a platform SDK, so it must be installed separately (MS setup does not offer to install it under Visual C++ dir) and in my case I get some errors when compiling the threading library. Should I explicitly specify include directories for the Platform SDK in the bjam command line? Many thanks, Ovanes
I don't have Express installed (I've got the Professional version) but I think the answer to your question is that you want to add the appropriate include directories to your INCLUDE and LIBPATH environmental variables.
If you registered the environmental variables with the system then you can goto "My Computer", right-click, Properties, Advanced tab, Environmental Variables button. You should see the two variables in the lower portion of the dialog - though they may be in the upper as well.
Alternatively, you can edit the "vcvars32.bat" file that is called when you open the "Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt" to insert the appropriate entries for these two values.
Here's a link from this forum from about a year ago:

Combined with the replies to it should clear up your questions and get you on your way.

Setting INCLUDE and LIBPATH environment variables helped.
Many thanks!
