(I have yet to get bjam to work well for me, and 2 lines in the bjam file looks ominous <include>D:/boost/boost_latest/boost/ # FIXME remove this! as I use I:\boost_root\. I would persevere if I was confident I would use it - and I wasn't just going to upgrade for VS 8.0 beta2 to VS 8.0 ;-) I need: boost_log-vc80-mt-gd-1_33.lib and boost_log-vc80-mt-1_33.lib Could these be provided ready built for VS 7.1 and 8.0, 8.0 beta2 even? (For the convenience of the idle/incompetent - and until bjam/v2 and its documentation works foolproofly - 1.34?). (As promised in the documentation, building the sources each time is rather time-consuming to be practicable for real-life use). 2 I got several "warning C4996: 'localtime' was declared deprecated" which should be suppressed IMO, until a better global 'solution' has been adopted. # pragma warning(disable: 4996) // ' ' was declared deprecated. 3 Starting the simple example with the normal Ctrl F5 "start without debugging", the console window starts with: "CMD.EXE was started with '\\hetp3\i$\boost_root\libs\log\examples\simple\vc71 as the current directory path.
