After a successful build of Boost.System (cvs head) under vc80 I find the generated files (*boost_system-vc-*.*) in the output directory as expected. But when building my app the linker complains about missing vc80-libs (*boost_system-vc80-*.*). Looking at other boost libs I see that there are usually two versions of each vc-binary. For example: libboost_thread-vc-mt-sgd.lib libboost_thread-vc80-mt-sgd.lib When I renamed the libs as expected everything worked just fine. I guess Boost.System should provide properly named vc80 binaries. Cheers Sascha

I can't reproduce the problem here. None of the boost libraries have a *-vc-* version; they are all *-vc80-*, including Boost.System's libraries. The only think I can think of is that you have some older versions of library or object files mixed in with some newer versions. You might want to clear out your stage directory, and the object files for your own code, and rebuild everything. HTH, --Beman
I found the problem. I used the deprecated "vc-8_0" toolset name for the build. Thank you and sorry for the noise Sascha Beman Dawes wrote:
