Hi Hartmut, I wanted to try out the examples. I encountered some problems: + Read the quikstart to get me started immediately. "Do not instantiate the main, preprocessing iterators yourself." --> not enough context here. "main" is undefined at this point. + when using bjam V2, VC7.1 fails with a buffer overrun (compiler problem). No problem with bjam V1. I wanted to try the samples but they don't have a V1 Jamfile, only V2. So I had to switch to using g++ instead. So far so good. + Now, I'm able to build the samples using bjam V2. A little hickup: bjam complains: error: Unable to find file or target named error: '/boost/program_options//boost_program_options' error: referred from project at error: 'cpp_tokens/build' Looking at program_options, it seems that the library name is program_options (without the boost_ prefix). + Got this fixed and. Now got into a link error: gcc.link ..\..\..\bin.v2\tools\inspect\build\gcc-3.2\ release\inspect.exe ..\..\..\bin.v2\tools\inspect\build\gcc-3.2\release\ cpp_main.o(.text+0x50):cpp_ ain.cpp: multiple definition of `_main' ..\..\..\bin.v2\tools\inspect\build\gcc-3.2\ release\inspect.o(.text+0x7eb0):ins ect.cpp: first defined here Any clues?
