Chris, thank you for the report. Can you try the attached version of bootstrap.bat -- it should find the 64-bit bjam after it is build. If it works, I'll merge it for 1.41.

As for vc9 vs. vc10 -- is it affecting only compilation of bjam itself, or causing other problems? If it's affecting bjam itself, this is probably not a 1.41 showstopper.

Thanks, Volodya

Hi,

works like a charm. However, I think you missed to insert "if exist ".\tools\jam\src\bin.ntx86_64\bjam.exe" del tools\jam\src\bin.ntx86_64\bjam.exe" at line 10?!

The VS2010 toolset is not a showstopper, as I can still set the toolset "msvc-9.0" when calling bjam.

Just as a suggestion: you could accept the toolset as argument to bootstrap.bat, just forward it to build.bat, which would have the additional advantage of producing a correct "project-config.jam". I guess the latter is read by bjam?!

Hi.

Indeed, I should have added that line. I've now done so, and committed the change to the trunk and release branches.

As for passing toolset, could you try running the attached -- both without arguments and with 'vc9'? Note that unfortunately, this will not affect project-config.jam as there are some issue with making tools/jam/src/build.bat report the toolset it has used.

milestone Boost 1.41.0 → Boost 1.42.0

The toolset forwarding is probably for 1.42 now.

version changed

version Boost 1.40.0 → Boost 1.45.0

Update milestone. Please mark this one appropriately or fix it for 1.45. Thanks.

version, milestone changed

Eric Niebler — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 03:47:12 GMT

version Boost 1.45.0 → Boost 1.40.0
milestone Boost 1.42.0 → Boost-1.45.0

Whoops, change milestone, not version.

summary, severity, milestone changed

Vladimir Prus — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 08:12:55 GMT

summary bootstrap.bat not running on x64 Windows → specify toolset to bootstrap.bat
severity Showstopper → Cosmetic
milestone Boost-1.45.0 → Boost-1.46.0

The fix for 64-bit windows has been checked in long ago. The reminder of this bug is about specifying the toolset for Boost.Build bootstrapping (that is, building bjam). That issue is definitely not a showstopper

toolset passed by build.bat

I've added functionality to the two batch files to pass BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET (the toolset ultimately used) from build.bat back to bootstrap.bat via a BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET.txt.
