vc7 being detected as vc-7_1

This is the compiler I'm using: C:\Documents and Settings\pedro.lamarao\My Documents\boost\boost_HEAD\libs\seria lization\test>cl Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 13.00.9466 for 80x86 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1984-2001. All rights reserved. usage: cl [ option... ] filename... [ /link linkoption... ] This is using the "Visual Studio .NET Command Prompt". I have applied a "SDK 1" patch to my installation. And I do have Visual Studio .NET 2003 installed on this machine. But trying to run the Serialization tests today I notice it detecting the vc-7_1 toolset: ...patience... ...patience... ...found 6438 targets... ...updating 4064 targets...

I'm trying to help with the vc7 failures in Serialization. -- Pedro Lamarão Desenvolvimento Intersix Technologies S.A.

But trying to run the Serialization tests today I notice it detecting the vc-7_1 toolset:
It's up to you to tell bjam which toolset to use, it doesn't "detect" anything. So either you added -sTOOLS=vc-7_1 to the bjam command line, or the TOOLS environment variable is set. John.

If you don't set TOOLS it just picks a toolset, actually. I think vc-7.1 by default on Windows and gcc everywhere else. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

Yeah, I ended up doing that. For some reason I thought it would behave like that. Thanks! -- Pedro Lamarão
