faster):bjam "-sBUILD=release <runtime-link>static" "-sTOOLS=vc-8_0" --
prefix=./boost-built install

build directory/files. Then add the "boost-built\boost" subfolder to your

path.
Hi Nathan,
Thanks for your response. I'm new to VC++ and don't know how libs are
configured for use in VC. Do you make a brand new copy of the built boost
libraries each time you make a new application that references boost? Is it
possible to have a single built boost library and statically link to it from
other applications we write? Or is it only possible to do this by dynamically
linking to DLLs?
Thanks again...Please advise
