I'm trying to build boost version 1.45.0 on my system: windows vista (business version and ultimate version) sp2 microsoft visual c++ express 2010 boost 1.45.0 bjam 3.1.18 Like usual, to build boost I follow these steps: 1) I extract boost in a version-named folder (.../boost/boost_1_45_0) 2) I create an empty folder for the build (.../boost/boost_1_45_0_build) 3) I copy bjam.exe in the source folder (.../boost/boost_1_45_0) 4) I open a Visual Studio Command Prompt(2010) (command prompt with environment variables for visual studio) 5) I launch this command(which used to work with the latest versions of the library, including 1.44.0): bjam --prefix=""..\boost_1_45_0_build"" install 6) I get an error (while usually the build process started and was successful with earlier versions of the library). The message is this: warning: No toolsets are configured. warning: Configuring default toolset ""msvc"". warning: If the default is wrong, your build may not work correctly. warning: Use the ""toolset=xxxxx"" option to override our guess. warning: For more configuration options, please consult warning: http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/configuration.html
