The ( ) confuses the bat file big time and I had to workaround it by using quotes and DeQuote function. * tools/build/jam_src/build.jam and tools/build/jam_src/jambase.c Simply new ""vc8"" tool * tools/build/jam_src/pathunix.c Changed DWORD -> int because on VC8 DWORD is unsigned which causes problem when we have pos=0 (then prev_pos is a huge number and everything is screwed). * boost/config/abi/msvc_prefix.hpp Make alignment consistent with STLPort. * boost/config/abi/msvc_prefix.hpp It seems that this workaround is not needed in the final version of VC 8 * libs/thread/src/once.cpp This is a known issue (http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2005/09/13765.php). Unfortunately, I can't figure out a better way to fix this. }}}" Patches closed None None Showstopper fixed
