I have just built --with-iostreams --with-program_options --with-system -- with-date_time --with-filesystem --with-atomic --with-test --with-regex -- with-thread. Every combination of toolset=msvc-11.0/12.0, variant=debug/release, and runtime-link=static/shared works for multithreaded static 64-bit Windows 7 libraries.

Is the message: link.jam: No such file or directory at the top of the build output something to be concerned about? -- Jeremiah Willcock

Any particular reason this hasn't been tagged in SVN? Nor indeed the beta either. Niall -- Currently unemployed and looking for work. Work Portfolio: http://careers.stackoverflow.com/nialldouglas/

On ubuntu 12.04 (with gcc 4.6.3 and clang 3.0) ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=gcc && ./b2 --without-mpi and ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=clang && ./b2 --without-mpi (from the .tar.gz package) both work with some warnings but without errors. The only thing printed to stderr in both cases is the following message: 'link.jam: No such file or directory' [8<] Matus

Testing using "g++ (GCC) 4.9.0 20131013 (experimental)" with the default compilation flags (i.e., not C++11), I get errors including the following in Boost.TR1:
and similar problems in std_test_ref_wrapper_tricky.
Apart from the fact that this is an unreleased compiler, whether or not that test passes (and it's *very* strict, hence the "tricky" name), depends on the implementation of std::reference_wrapper. I suspect - but haven't had time to check - that this is a difference between the TR1 specification and C++11, in that if memory serves, TR1 requires inheritance from std::unary_function, where as C++11 does not. Given that the test case tests strict adherence to TR1, such failures should probably just be marked up as expected. Oh wait.... this is in C++03 compilation mode? In that case it depends on Boost's reference wrapper, which has never been TR1 conforming. John. PS, can we deprecate Boost.TR1 yet? ;-)

Good builds on Windows 2008 Server R2 with msvc-8.0, msvc-9.0, msvc-10.0, and msvc-11.0, 32&64 bit, all configurations. I also linked each version with a sample program (Multi-thread dll) in both debug and release. However, there were problems with msvc-12.0 (better than beta1 though). They all appear to be in the serialization library. See these build logs: http://boost.teeks99.com/misc/boost_1_55_0-32bitlog.txt http://boost.teeks99.com/misc/boost_1_55_0-64bitlog.txt Tom
