Hi,

I've downloaded and built boost 1.34. I now need
'libboost_zlib-vc80-mt-gd-1_34.lib' (I'm on visual studio
2005 as the name
suggest).

The problem I'm facing is that
boost_zlib-vc80-mt-gd-1_34.lib is correctly
built however I don't know how to get the
'libboost_zlib-vc80-mt-gd-1_34.lib generated.


>From within the iostreams/build directory I run the
following command;


C:boost134boost_1_34_0libsiostreamsbuild>C:boost134
boost_1_34_0bjam
--to
olset=msvc  -sVC80_ROOT="C:Program FilesMicrosoft
Visual Studio 8VC"
"-sTOOL
S=vc-8_0" -sZLIB_INCLUDE=c:boost134boost_1_34_0zlib
-sZLIB_SOURCE=c:boost13
4boost_1_34_0zlib --with-iostreams  threading=multi
--layout=system
....patience...
....found 540 targets...


this generates the  boost_zlib-vc80-mt-gd-1_34.lib  for me
but not the
'libboost_zlib-vc80-mt-gd-1_34.lib'.

I've tried running the above command with stage however that
fails
systematically with;

C:boost134boost_1_34_0libsiostreamsbuild>C:boost134
boost_1_34_0bjam
--to
olset=msvc  -sVC80_ROOT="C:Program FilesMicrosoft
Visual Studio 8VC"
"-sTOOL
S=vc-8_0" -sZLIB_INCLUDE=c:boost134boost_1_34_0zlib
-sZLIB_SOURCE=c:boost13
4boost_1_34_0zlib --with-iostreams  threading=multi
--layout=system
stage

notice: could not find main target  stage
notice: assuming it's a name of file to create
don't know how to make <e>stage
....found 1 target...
....can't find 1 target...


I'm sure  this is a dumb ass question but I've never worked
with boost
before and the bloke that normally does the builds is away
on holliers
(lucky git). This is the first time we're running with
visual studio 2005.

Can anybody help me out. I'm sure I've missed something
fundamental/basic.
Aplogies in advance if this is a really annoying question!
:(



regards

G

The boost_zlib_<tags> is the import library for the
DLL. The 
libboost_zlib_<tags> refers to the statically built
zlib library. Try adding 
"link=static" (less the quotation marks) to the
command-line if you want to 
build from the iostreams' build directory.

BTW - I don't think you need the "-sTOOLS" and
"-sVC80_ROOT" arguments. At 
least the TOOLS argument is for BBv1 only. Try
"toolset=msvc-8.0" instead 
from the VS2005 command prompt.

IIRC the stage target can only be used from the Boost root
directory. Try 
changing directory to C:boost134boost_1_34_0 and exec:

<path/to/>bjam toolset=msvc-8.0 threading=multi 
link=static --with-iostreams -sZLIB_SOURCE=<whatever>
stage
