Boost Build for 1.34 and MSVC default toolset
Hi, In the current Boost 1.33.1, vc-7_1 seems to be the default tooset and I had to explicitely use vc-8_0 to get it going for VS2005. However has this now been changed for Boost 1.34 so that vc-8_0 should be the default toolset, can someone please confirm this? Thanks Shams

There is no default for 1.34, which will be using Boost.Build v2. The default ends up being whatever you set up to build with. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo
Hi, For msvc, do you mean that I will now have to specify toolset on the command line after running "vcvarsall.bat" eg. "bjam vc-8_0" or can I simply run just "bjam". Like in Fedora 5 bjam works well with with gcc. I only have to run "bjam" and everything builds just fine.

Not really. What you'd need to do is to edit tools/build/v2/user-config.jam and uncomment the line which says `using msvc'.

That's because Boost.Build v2 defaults to using gcc. The documentation should give you more hints about how to use BBv2. -- Dean Michael C.
