RE: [boost] Wave Bjam building problems\Joel de Guzman -did youeverfind a solution?

Hartmut- HI THERE! I must say, I am excited to get the build fun over with so I can use your extremely cool creation. Details: I am using V2. I am NOW much closer. I am compiling but NOT LINKING- I have removed VC70 COMPLETELY from my box and rebuilt boost with 71 (again). That an a using msvc : 7.1. : (path to cl.exe) in the user-config.jam got me to compile. Additionally, I went through and manually removed all of the references in my LIB, INCLUDE and PATH to vc70. This may sound extreme, but it allowed BJAM to compile (Bjam's interaction with those ENV vars is something I don't fully know how it works) I am now trying to build the quick start with the VC71 IDE My current problem is this link error: Linking... LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_wave-vc7-mt-gd-1_32.lib' Build log was saved at "file://c:\data\Irx\Irx\Arx\Main\Source\Common\Boost\V_1_32\libs\wave\sa mples\quick_start\Debug\BuildLog.htm" WaveQuickStart - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) The LIB I have available is 'libboost_wave-vc71-mt-gd-1_32.lib not 'libboost_wave-vc7-mt-gd-1_32.lib'. I am not sure WHY the autolinking is trying to hit the vc70 version of the lib since I am using VC71's IDE. (ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS?) Additionally, I will try your suggestion below just to see what happens. THANK YOU Brian Braatz Info and tips for anyone who might find this mail in the archives: 1- Try to build the spirit example FIRST, if you cant build the examples with Spirit, you will not be able to get wave to compile 2- Remove all the references to other compilers in LIB, INCLUDE and PATH, this seemed to clean things up for me (though this SHOULD not be necessary I believe) 3- Maintain patience and perseverance. :) problem.
But the Wave jamfiles in the Boost CVS:HEAD should work fine, didn't
they?

Also unneccessary.
It doesn't interact with them.
I don't know; this looks like a possible misuse of the autolink system by Wave, or... maybe you need to force-rebuild your entire vc71 project? If you have any object files lying around that were build with vc70 you'll have the incorrect autolink references in them. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

There was some confusion on the list about how to specify <rtti>off for the vc71 compiler in the Jamfile.v2. Since I'm no boost build expert (or more concrete, I have minimal clue only how it works) I followed the suggestions. So the Wave Jamfile.v2 files now contain a <toolset>msvc-7.1:<rtti>off # workaround for compiler bug which is supposed to switch off the RTTI generation for this compiler (because it otherwise shows the observed behaviour).
Very strange, there seems to occur some interaction between the vc71 and the generated vc70 libraries. Could you please remove all the binaries generated by your vc70 and compile boost from the scratch with the vc71 Regards Hartmut
