Thanks John, I did both, yes my auto_link.hpp is fresh from svn. When I
placed an error message in the top, it came up in the VC build info, so
it was found.
Here is what I put in my user-config.jam file to build;
# MSVC configuration
using msvc : 9.0 : "C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0/VC/bin/cl.exe" ;
# C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin
and the libraries got built. Now here for the weird thing; In VC, when I
open the auto_link.hpp file,
#elif defined(BOOST_MSVC) && (BOOST_MSVC == 1310)
// vc71:
# define BOOST_LIB_TOOLSET "vc71"
#elif defined(BOOST_MSVC) && (BOOST_MSVC >= 1400)
// vc80:
# define BOOST_LIB_TOOLSET "vc80"
#elif defined(BOOST_MSVC) && (BOOST_MSVC >= 1500)
// vc90:
# define BOOST_LIB_TOOLSET "vc90"
The line for vc80 is in blue, the lines for vc71 and vc90 are in gray.
Makes me think VC thinks it is vc80. I am sooo rusty, this is probably
meaningful and I am ignorant as to what it means.
Clearly the compiler is vc90 as it is the express edition of 2008.
Any help is gratefully appreciated.
