How do I "run the configure tests"?
Can't find anything about it in the docs. "Unknown compiler version - please run the configure tests and report the results" [1] Thank you, Chris [1] From https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_65_1/boost/config/compiler/visualc.hpp

You must me using a newer version of VS than the (a somewhat) current version of VS at the time of release of Boost 1.XX. The warning should be ignored (this is a known problem, formally correct, but generally harmless (until it's not ;-) )). degski

Addendum: you should read the warning as something like: "This version of boost was released before the version of VS you are using was released". In Boost 1.66, the warning is slightly clearer, but still pops up. With the current update schedule of VS2017, this warning will keep on popping up almost always (as Boost *will* be out of date almost continuously, it's unavoidable). degski

The warning should be ignored
If anyone knows how to "run the configure tests" please let me know. I suspect/hope that they will show me what compiler and toolset options are available. Chris

Here's what I do: a) set current directory to boost/libs/config/test b) invoke b2 --dumptests >b2.log c) cat b2.log This will show you all the config variable settings for the selected compiler. But it won't show you the compilers if found. I hope this helps, though I doubt it will. Robert Ramey

See https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_66_0/libs/config/doc/html/index.html#boost_... and https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_66_0/libs/config/doc/html/index.html#boost_... But in any case, updates for the latest msvc versions are already available with more due in 1.67 very soon. John. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com
