Problem building boost_1_44_0 and Quantlib_1.0.1

[somshekhar]

Hi All,
I have problem building the boost library....

Following is the configuration of my system:
Microsoft Windows XP professional, version 2002, service pack 3.

And I am using Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition.

The Steps followed for building is as follows:

1. Installed Boost library and Quantlib.

2. I have created the short cut of the command prompt and changed the target properties to point to
%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe /K call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"

3. Go to the root directory and running the command bootstrap.bat
i got the following message

C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_44_0>bootstrap.bat
Building Boost.Jam build engine
Failed to build Boost.Jam build engine.
Please consult bjam.log for furter diagnostics.
You can try to obtain a prebuilt binary from
http://sf.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586&package_id=72941
Also, you can file an issue at http://svn.boost.org
Please attach bjam.log in that case.

When searched in google , i found its not really an error we need to copy the bjam.exe to the root directory , for the work around have downloaded the bjam.exe and put it in the root folder, because no where i can found this file in my directory.

I really dont know why VSSdk is necessary because in the site of boost they havent mentioned about that.

i ran bjam toolset=msvs --buildtype complete install

i have seen the output but can't make out anything.

Well then i opened the quantlib solution and made changes in the include and library to point to boost includes and library.

But when i run the build i am getting the linking error that
cannot open file 'QuantLib-vc90-mt.lib'

I am really struggling to make this work , please help me out with this. I followed the steps which is mentioned in one of the forums here but it dint worked out for me.

A very unusual error which i am getting while running the command build inside /tools/jam/src

is a linking error
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'C:\DOCUME~1\kosharm\Local'

it is giving me linking error and hence i gues bjam.exe is not getting created.

Som

Did you try to download the installer from here:

Boost C++ Libraries Installers for Windows - BoostPro Computing

?

Will make it all much easier.

No, the site is restricted and i cannot download it....

I am trying reading the batch files...and wat i understood is that build.bat file in /tools/jam/src is not skipping the jam part...

and i seriously dont understand why?
I downloaded the bjam.exe and tried in various way but no luck...

Well i am getting the linking error saying that Local file not found,

unable to open the file C:\DocumentsAndSetting\Kosharm\Local

i found that Local file was not there so i created and tried but the same error...
I think compilation is going but there is linking error and i dont know how to resolve..

Thanks,
Som
