Status of VC++.NET 2005 Beta
Hello all, I would like to know if anybody has successfully built boost with VC++.NET 2005 beta version ? I tried to look the regression tests, but the links from boost web site are broken (This site is defaced!!! NeverEverNoSanity WebWorm generation 25.). By the way, is there any document that explains how to create a new toolset for boost::bjam ? Regards, -- Loïc

Yes, it does build OK, modulo a few new bugs in the new compiler. Use the "vc-8_0" toolset. John.

In addition, Boost attempts to build statically linked CRT versions of some of the libraries (/ML and /MLd flags) - these appear to have been removed in VS2005 (and the documentation appears to imply that'll be the case for RTM: "/ML and /MLd compiler options have been removed. Visual C++ no longer supports single-threaded, statically linked CRT library support. "). Will these be removed from the VC8 build when the compiler is released? Stuart Dootson

Yep, there's a whole bunch of potential problems to deal with: I get warnings about /Zc:wchar_t and /Zc:forscope as well, I don't doubt that these will all get fixed when we know what the final compiler release will be. John.
