Has anyone been able to build boost under vc_7.1? I seem to be getting the following error when running bjam: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jamfile:278: in load-jamfiles *** argument error * rule stage ( name : sources + : requirements * : local-build * ) * called with: ( : C:\boost\boost_1_33_1\boost\compatibility\cpp_c_headers ................. lots and lots of files .............................. C:\boost\boost_1_33_1\boost\wave\util\unput_queue_iterator.hpp : <locate>C:\Boost <tree-subdirs>C:\boost\boost_1_33_1 <target>all : <suppress>true ) * missing argument name C:\boost\boost_1_33_1\tools/build/v1\boost-base.jam:2330:see definition of rule 'stage' being called C:\boost\boost_1_33_1\tools\build\v1\bootstrap.jam:21: in boost-build C:\boost\boost_1_33_1\boost-build.jam:16: in module scope ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I downloaded both boost_1_33_1.exe and boost_1_33_1.tar.gz and ran bjam on them with the same result as above. I am using bjam from boost-jam-3.1.11-1-ntx86.zip. Note that boost_1_33_0 runs OK with bjam so I ma pretty sure it is problem in the jam files. Just after missing argument name in the above output "/" are appearing along with the usual "\"Microsoft OS path separator. Is this the problem. Thanks in advance for any help.
