So I tried the following command line with VS 2005 SP1:
bjam --toolset=msvc-8.0 stage
Seems to run fine, but I am missing most of the static libs,
Digging through the bjam docs and playing try/error I found that bjam link=static --toolset=msvc-8.0 stage solves this issue. I also found http://www.nabble.com/-1.35--what-gets-built-and-installed--td14417464.html and am a little bit offended by the fact that the massive change in what gets built is not accompanied by appropriate highlighted text in the release notes or the getting started section. The overall high quality reputation of boost libraries gets tainted by the pain it causes to get things up and running. My colleagues not to be convinced yet. Also the link to installers is fine, but http://www.boost-consulting.com/products/free does not contain one for 1.35. So either remove the link from the getting started guide or provide the installer. And in order to reduce the number of posts: Please mention option "link=static" in the getting started guide in section 5. Markus
