getting boost.org c++ libraries using the intel compiler

[kysuma]

Hello,
I have downloaded the trial version of intel C++ compiler (11.1.065)
I have extraced the boost files to the folder "C:\\boost_1_37_0\\boost_1_37_0"
I have invoked bjam using the foll command
bjam --Build-dir=C:\\boost_1_37_0\\boost_1_37_0\\intel" --toolset=intel --build-type=complete stage
I see the foll error

for configuration instructions or pass --without-python to

I am able to build in VisualStudio.
How do I generate the boos libraries for the Intel Compiler ?

I'll take care about your request, but give me some time to investigate.
Thanks&regards,

I ran a boost build test (however with newest boost _1_43_0), but didn't find such failures. The crucial part on your side, I believe, is that --toolset=intel fails.

There is a knowledge base article at http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/building-boost-with-intel-c/ which may help. This articel describes boost with using Intel Parallel Studio, but the procedure is the same for the classic Intel C++ Compiler 11.1.

I ran into another issue that was very related to this forum thread at http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/showthread.php?t=71983.

You may also search for other occurrences of boost forum threads to get some help.

Regards,

Hubert.
