Hi.
Btw, is it possible to specify multiple toolsets in the user-config.jam? According to the http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?Boost.Build_V...
it seems to be possible, but I tried it without success.
What exactly did you try and what were the results? user-config.jam, site-config.jam & project-config.jam are configuration files loaded by Boost Build at startup (actually test-config.jam as well but that one's kinda special). They may be used to configure one or more different toolsets available on the system. For instance, a project-config.jam I'm using at the moment for something contains:
local cygwin-bin = "c:/PROGRA~2/Cygwin/bin" ; using gcc : 3 : $(cygwin-bin)/g++-3.exe : <archiver>$(cygwin-bin)/ar.exe <ranlib>$(cygwin-bin)/ranlib.exe ;
using msvc : 9.0 ;
As you can see - it can configure multiple toolsets. You can also easily configure multiple versions of a single toolset (if supported by the specific toolset you are configuring) as in:
using msvc : 9.0 ; using msvc : 10.0 ;
Or a toolset may support some customized initialization syntax, e.g. toolset msvc allows attempting to autodetect available toolset versions and configuring the toolset based on that automatically by specifying:
using msvc : all ;
Note that all this does not specify which toolset will actually be used for your build. It only configures specific toolsets in case some target needs to use them for its build. Usually this means that you still need to specify the toolset on the command line. Hope this helps. Best regards, Jurko Gospodnetić
