I remember that we discussed this problem before: C:\Projects\boost-git\boost>b2 --with-system toolset=msvc-10.0 address-model=32,64 [...] error: Name clash for '<pstage\lib>libboost_system-vc100-mt-gd-1_61.lib' error: error: Tried to build the target twice, with property sets having error: these incompatible properties: error: error: - <address-model>32 error: - <address-model>64 error: error: Please make sure to have consistent requirements for these error: properties everywhere in your project, especially for install error: targets. but don't remember what we concluded. Will we support building both 32 and 64 bit libraries under Windows? At present if I want to have an IDE project that has both Win32 and x64 configurations I need to build the 32 bit libraries, move them out of stage/lib somewhere, then build the 64 bit libraries, then move them out of stage/lib to somewhere else, and set my library directories in the IDE accordingly. It would be much more convenient if 32/64 were encoded into the name, so that I can leave my library path to point at stage/lib and rely on autolink to choose the right .lib file automatically, like it works today for the other options (debug/release, static/dynamic runtime).
