Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #9430: Boost building step stuck on running bootstrap.bat on Win7 with Visual C++ 2010 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9430 <p> Hi team, </p> <p> Faced building problem with 1.55_0 on Win 7 using Visual C++ 2010. </p> <p> The problem can be reproduced every time. </p> <p> The step are: </p> <ol><li>Unzip the boost_1_55_0.zip file. </li><li>Use cmd.exe or Visual Studio Command Prompt and go to boost_1_55_0 folder </li><li>Type bootstrap or .\bootstrap.bat, but the process stuck here. </li></ol><p> The problem is the screen stopped at "Bootstrapping the build engine" and never went further. </p> <p> Checked the bootstrap.log. The last line is: </p> <pre class="wiki">D:\dev\cpp\cpp_libs\boost-build2\boost-build\engine&gt;.\bootstrap\jam0 -f build.jam --toolset=vc10 "--toolset-root=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Tools\..\..\VC\ " clean </pre><p> I even directly go to tools\build\v2\engine and run .\build.bat vc10 but no luck. The same (blocking) result repeated on the screen. I am using Win 7 (64 bits). Can anyone shed some lights on this?

I also find that Avast will hang on programs built with Boost. Are you having the same issues I am? Are there any known workarounds other than disabling Avast on a computer running a program built with Boost? </p> </description> <category>Ticket</category> </item> </channel> </rss>
