I would like to know if anybody has successfully built boost with VC++.NET 2005 beta version ? I tried to look the regression tests, but the links from boost web site are broken (This site is defaced!!! NeverEverNoSanity WebWorm generation 25.).
Yes, it does build OK, modulo a few new bugs in the new compiler.
Use the "vc-8_0" toolset.
John.
In addition, Boost attempts to build statically linked CRT versions of some of the libraries (/ML and /MLd flags) - these appear to have been removed in VS2005 (and the documentation appears to imply that'll be the case for RTM: "/ML and /MLd compiler options have been removed. Visual C++ no longer supports single-threaded, statically linked CRT library support. "). Will these be removed from the VC8 build when the compiler is released? Stuart Dootson
