issues when compiling boost with visual c++ 8 and 9

Hi: The following is the output I am currently getting with the current trunk when trying to compile with visual c++ 9, tried with visual c++ 8 and got a similar error: C:/Program Files/boost/tools/build/v2/tools\msvc.jam:1040: syntax error at keyword = C:/Program Files/boost/tools/build/v2/build\toolset.jam:38: in toolset.using rule msvc.init unknown in module toolset. C:/Program Files/boost/tools/build/v2\build-system.jam:465: in process-explicit-toolset-requests C:/Program Files/boost/tools/build/v2\build-system.jam:545: in load C:\Program Files\boost\tools\build\v2/kernel\modules.jam:283: in import C:\Program Files\boost\tools\build\v2\kernel\bootstrap.jam:138: in boost-build C:\Program Files\boost\boost-build.jam:17: in module scope Hope this helps. Sean.

Richard Webb also reported this for VC++ 10, and pointed out a misspelling from changeset 55154. Since this typo is causing widespread breakage, I've gone ahead and fixed the misspelling, done a simple test, and committed the change to trunk. Thanks for the problem report, --Beman

Hi: I can confirm this is fixed for c++ 8-9.

Thanks for the problem report,
Thanks for fixing this! This is apparently due to the fact that release testing still uses trunk version of Boost.Build. I'll talk to Rene about possible approaches to improve on that. - Volodya
