Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Aleksey Sanin (lsh123) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: patch for Visual Studio 8 + Windows x64 (AMD64) Initial Comment: This patch adds "vc8" build tool to jam and fixes several issues with building boost in Visual Studio 8 on AMD64 platform: * tools/build/jam_src/build.bat On Windows 64 the default location for Visual Studio is "C:\Program Files (x86)\...". The ( ) confuses the bat file big time and I had to workaround it by using quotes and DeQuote function. * tools/build/jam_src/build.jam and tools/build/jam_src/jambase.c Simply new "vc8" tool * tools/build/jam_src/pathunix.c Changed DWORD -> int because on VC8 DWORD is unsigned which causes problem when we have pos=0 (then prev_pos is a huge number and everything is screwed). * boost/config/abi/msvc_prefix.hpp Make alignment consistent with STLPort. * boost/config/abi/msvc_prefix.hpp It seems that this workaround is not needed in the final version of VC 8 * libs/thread/src/once.cpp This is a known issue (http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2005/09/13765.php). Unfortunately, I can't figure out a better way to fix this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=307586&aid=1703358&group_id=7586 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
