You might want to limit posts to plain text, whatever email format your using defeats the auto-original-indent capabilities for Outlook Express. Also directly reply to messages that you are reading. Many use the gmane.org newsreader interface which maintains message thread integrity.

This is set to plain text, I'm using Outlook. Hopefully this works better.

Yep, it does.

I don't have a vc7.1-tools.jam file. And I have vc7.0 and vc7.1 I've never heard of this file, and don't think there is one.

When you run bjam -sTOOLS=XXX It takes the XXX and appends -tools.jam to find the .jam file for building for the specific compiler.

...

Your building for vc7.0, I'm not sure what the -a is.

-a is rebuild all, even if current.

...

If you want to build for vc7.1 you should use vc7.1.

I did (bjam -sTOOLS=vc7.1 stage) and I get the following error:

Vc7.1-tools.jam No such file or directory.

...

I would start over if I were you. Open a Command Propmpt window. Change directory to you boost_1_31_0 directory. Type the following _exactly_ as shown:

bjam -sTOOLS=vc7.1 stage

I did, but I'm using 1.29, not 1.31 That might be the problem....hmm

I'd think bjam changed significantly since 1.29? I don't think the build instructions noted above are valid for pre 1.3x. Any reason your not using 1.31? ----------------- Jeff Flinn Applied Dynamics, International
