Description

When compiling Boost with Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2011, the "b2 --clean-all" command doesn't clean up the bin.v2 Directoy. Under Visual Studio 2010 it works.

Output under VS2008 (b2 --toolset=msvc-9.0 -j%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS%):

(The fact that libboost_wave doesn't get built successfully doesn't have anything to do with the failed cleanup afaik as it fails the same way in VS2008 which builds everything successfully)

This issue is still present in Boost 1.50.0

Tested under Visual Studio 2008 SP1

After that, the size of the bin.v2 directory is still 1.03GB, 1373 Files.

I can't reproduce this with the trunk.

comment:5 by Steven Watanabe, 10 years ago

Cannot reproduce with the release branch either.

So it was even bigger after the clean attempt.

ran VS2012 x86 Native Tools Command Prompt

comment:7 by Steven Watanabe, 10 years ago

You're not using --clean-all correctly.

The difference between clean and clean-all is that clean only deletes the top level targets to be built, while clean-all also cleans dependencies. --clean-all does /not/ clean all build variants. You need to specify the toolset for it to work.

comment:8 by Florian George <fgeorge@…>, 10 years ago

You are right, apologies. I assumed --clean-all would indeed clean all build variants, or at least the last one built.

With

b2 --clean-all --toolset=msvc-9.0

only a few .log .rsp .cpp files remain in bin.v2.

Can be closed, thanks!
