Hi guys, I'm trying to compile the boost library for regular expressions (regex) on Windows XP using the Intel 9.1 compiler. So far, I have not found a make file for doing that. I tried with the "generic.mak" included within the boost distribution, but it seems not to work with Intel's compiler, as some options (like output file -o) are different for Intel's (/Fo in this case). So I started writing a .mak file by my own, and I'm getting some linking errors. I wonder if any of you tried compiling boost with Intel. I think it is a very common requirement, and I'm sure someone else did it... I just can't find it on the inet.

The easiest way is to do it with bjam: First edit user-config.jam to point to the location of your Intel compiler installation, mine has for example: using intel-win : 10.0 : "c:/program files/intel/compiler/c++/10.0.025/ia32/bin/icl.exe" ; Then cd into the root directory of Boost and invoke: bjam --with-regex intel stage and the built libraries will be copied to ./dist/lib HTH, John. PS, if you want to go down the makefile route: use the vc8 makefile as a basis, and replace "cl" with "icl". You may need to change the mangled name of the libraries as well for auto-linking to work, but you should be able to figure it out :-)
