Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #5305: Compiling boost 1.46.1 with bjam under Windows 7 using MSVC 2010 and Intel Compiler XE 2011.0.154

Fri, 01 Jul 2011 08:21:16 GMT

This problem is still present in Boost 1.47 Beta 1

Allows build with Intel Composer Studio

Wed, 13 Jul 2011 17:19:29 GMT

I have a patch which allows to build boost with Intel Composer Studio. After applying the patch i have the following lines in user-config.jam: path-constant intel-compiler-12 : [ os.environ ICPP_COMPILER12 ] ;

using intel : 12.0 : $(intel-compiler-12)/bin/ia32/icl.exe : <compatibility>vc10 <cxxflags>/Qstd=c++0x ;

The patch is missing the 64-bit build. Another problem what i encountered that it is not possible to build boost with multiple visual studio versions. And what would be cleaned up for patch to be applied?

If someone can come up with a full patch for both x86 and x64 I'd gladly test it on my machine. I'd love to see ICC working for BBv2 ASAP.

Just in case you are not aware, ICL already works without making any changes. You will need to open the command prompt shortcut provided by Intel which will load all the necessary environment variables required to compile.

Ah okay, thanks. I'll have to modify my build process to do that, but it shouldn't be too hard to automate.

This really should be fixed, but at least there is a workaround. I am not sure I have the time to dig through Boost Build to apply a proper fix, so hopefully someone knowledgeable about it can figure out a proper patch.

revised patch should support 64 and 32 bit

Tue, 02 Aug 2011 17:19:16 GMT

The new patch should allow 64 & 32 bit builds like msvc as i used the msvc.jam as example. I haven't got the chance to test the 64-bit. Would be nice if anyone of you could try it.

Does not work with V12.1 (build 258) of the compiler. Maybe please repost current intel-win.jam file and build command used.

What doesn't work? For the 64-bit build you need a 64-bit bjam, because of the variable that is checked if it should build native 64-bit or cross compile. Perhaps someone knows a reliable way to determine if the os is 32-bit or 64-bit. To build bjam as a 64-bit version i executed the following command: F:\Libs\boost_1_48_0\tools\build\v2\engine>build vc10 amd64

In the config.jam i have the following line: using intel : 12.1 : "C:/Program Files (x86)/Intel/Composer XE 2011 SP1/bin/ia32/icl.exe" : <compatibility>vc10 <cxxflags>"/Qstd=c++0x /Qipo" <define>_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS ;

To build the 32-bit dlls: F:\Libs\boost_1_48_0>.\tools\build\v2\engine\bin.ntx86_64\bjam.exe -j8 --toolset=intel --user-config=config.jam variant=debug variant=release threading=multi link=shared runtime-link=shared address-model=32 --without-mpi --without-python stage

To build the 64-bit dlls F:\Libs\boost_1_48_0>.\tools\build\v2\engine\bin.ntx86_64\bjam.exe -j8 --toolset=intel --user-config=config.jam --stagedir=stage64 variant=debug variant=release threading=multi link=shared runtime-link=shared address-model=64 --without-mpi--without-python stage

Hope this helps. I'm also attaching the whole intel-win.jam

Ok... I'll re-test asap; probably next week. Just one question: Can you please take look at line 125 of the file? Is this intended or does a 'newline' simply not matter in JAM files?

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 11:30:57 GMT

The linebreak is already in the original file. I don't know the intent of it.
