Hi Snigma (I really fail to see why people can't be bothered to learn the Greek alphabet... Σ = sigma hence has an "ess" sound.)

I really fail to see why people have such a problem building boost. The instructions are perfectly clear. Which part did you have problems with?
Do you
really want to get into that? I'm afraid that I didn't find the instructions perfectly clear, e.g.
Quote:The user sets up all of the environment for each toolset he wants to use in the normal way.
Toolset? Environment? Normal way?!? Sorry, lost me right there. And I'm afraid it just gets worse after that. (Truthfully, earlier discussion of cvs, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, boostbook, Perforce etc. confused the blazes out of me.) Maybe I'm just too stupid to live.
During the build process I opened a command prompt from VCEE, and had to
set INCLUDE=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include;%INCLUDE%
and
set LIB=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Lib;%LIB%
to get a successful(?) build.

Do you have a successfully built libboost_regex-vc80-mt-gd-1_33_1.lib file? Is it on the libs path for your project?
libboost_regex-vc80-mt-gd-1_33_1.lib can be found in
C:\boost\bin\boost\libs\regex\build\libboost_regex.lib\vc-8_0\debug\threading-multi\ on my machine, so, I assume it built successfully.
I added
C:\boost\include\boost-1_33_1 to
Tools-> Options-> Projects and Solutions-> VC++ Directories (Include files) and
C:\boost\lib to
Tools-> Options-> Projects and Solutions-> VC++ Directories (Library files).
Do I need to more? (I can't find where it explains which setting are required.)
TIA
