I grabbed the ICU bin for VS2010. I extracted the content into d:\icu so that d:\icu\include has the various includes.
I'd suggest you to build it from the provided solutions both debug and release versions - makes it all much easier especially for multi-variant builds. AFAIK provided ICU libraries are release only. So build it with provided solutions it shouldn't take too long.
I set up the PATH variable to include d:\icu\bin...
I copied boost and lib from the review into boost_1_46_1 where the root of boost source is.
The docs seem to imply that I can get a build without ICU if I'm using Windows but this doesn't seem to be the case. I tried --without-icu and I got an error about using --with and --without for the same lib.
First of all if ICU is not found it would be build automatically without it. You can also use explicitly boost.locale.icu=off in command line.
Here's my attempt to build (with ICU installed):
D:\boost_1_46_1\boost_1_46_1>bjam --build-dir=.\build toolset=msvc-10 --with-loc ale --prefix=d:\boost_msvc_1461 --layout=system -sICU_PATH=d:\icu stage Performing configuration checks
I'm not sure that layout=system is actually should be used on windows as you require mangled names for different binary incompatible versions like import lib, static library debug and release. AFAIK layout=system is used on Posix platforms where no need to "over-mangle" the library names as there is no binary incompatibilities between debug and release versions. Artyom
