There are currently some issues when running:

and
bjam --v2 install msvc-7.1 link=static,shared # [2]
These were identified in the "[Boost-build] boost.build v2 and toolset=" discussion on the boost.build mailing list.
Running [1] highlights a problem with Boost.Wave. Since wave adds <rtti>off for msvc-7.1, this is causing problems when it is pulling in Boost.FileSystem. The <tag> rule is using the <rtti>on version of filesystem, not the <rtti>off version, so BBv2 ends up trying to create two versions of boost_filesystem-vc71-mt-gd-1_35.lib.
The workaround is to open the following files:
$(BOOST_ROOT)/tools/wave/build/Jamfile.v2 $(BOOST_ROOT)/libs/wave/build/Jamfile.v2
and comment out the line:
<toolset-msvc:version>7.1:<rtti>off # workaround for compiler bug
in each, however this is not an ideal solution :(!
If you do that, the build will fail because of the mentioned compiler bug.
Hence it being a workaround to the install issue.
The only way is to accept to get two different versions of the libraries.
Agreed.
What perhaps needs to be done is to code the rtti settings into the library names.
Thanks! Your hint lead to a solution that works for: bjam --v2 install msvc-7.1 link=static,shared The Wave/FileSystem issue is solved by adding 'r' when rtti=on. The DateTime issue is a more global one relating to building link=static and link=share at the same time. The msvc compiler produces a LIB file in both these cases (static produces a STATIC_LIB target and share produces an IMPORT_LIB target). These targets clash, hence the error. The solution I have gone for is to add "-imp" for IMPORT_LIB targets. Therefore, link=static will produce: boost_date_time-***.lib and link=share will produce: boost_date_time-***-imp.lib boost_date_time-***.dll This causes the above install to work. I haven't done extensive testing, just the above. If this is approved, I will commit it. NOTE: I don't know about other combinations. - Reece _________________________________________________________________ Try Live.com: where your online world comes together - with news, sports, weather, and much more. http://www.live.com/getstarted
