Here is the line I used. After finish (approximately 10 minutes) I got near minus 700 MB hard drive. After I deleted unneeded "build" dir, I've got only new "stage" dir with size near 388 mb (contains debug and release multithreaded libraries versions). bjam --build-type=minimal --build-dir=./builddir --without-wave --without-math --without-python --without-graph_parallel stage Notice, boost-wave and boost-math take really much disk space and compilation time. 2009/9/9 Boost lzw :

Hi there,

I have a similar question. I manually built boost 1.39 for MS Visual Studio 2008 Prof according to the following link: http://dave-programming.blogspot.com/2008/02/how-to-build-boost-1341-with-vi...

The build-up file folder took up to 9 GB. Now before manually building 1.40, what should I do with the previous version (1.39) on my machine? It seems there is nothing in the control panel->add and remove program for boost 1.39. I guess there is no way to remove 1.39 from the control panel. Should I simply delete 1.39 file folders before building the 1.40? Does the same building procedure for 1.39 (described in the above link) apply to manually building 1.40 as well? Thanks in advance.

Cheers, Robert

I suggest you manually building Boost from sources. It is really not hard. Sorry for "offtopic"

Hi! I'm not sure how and when the windows installer for Boost 1.40 is planned. Where can I find the informations about that? Will it be available soon? I'm waiting for this installer before updating my Boost version. Thanks for you time. Joël Lamotte.

* *I know how to build Boost, it's not a problem, really. I want to use the installer because it help when you have several computers/compilers/config to install the libs on and some of them will take a really bigger time to compile and link it than just downloading what's necessary... The installer download is not as resource greedy as the compilation, allowing to do something else (like compiling something else) without loosing a lot of time. (I don't have an high end computer here to compile it fast) The installer exists for a reason, doesn't it? :) Anyway you didn't answer my question so I should I presume that nobody know what is planned for the installer and there is no public doc about it's build process? I'm a bit surprised because almost everything else is documented somewhere on the website. Thanks for your help. Joël Lamotte. On Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 4:25 AM, Steven Watanabe wrote:

Yes. Boost doesn't do anything fancy, so there is nothing to clean up beyond the obvious files.

Does the same

It's somewhat out of date, since it was written for 1.34.1. It looks like it ought to work, but it's a lot more complex than it needs to be. You can look at the getting started guide: http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started/windows.html.

In Christ, Steven Watanabe
