Boost.Buildmsvc toolset |
Boost.Build's msvc toolset supports the Microsoft Visual C++ command-line tools on Microsoft Windows. It supports any version of Visual C++, but in case you have more than one version of Visual C++ installed, and you want to use both, the additional vc7 toolset can be used for Visual C++ 7.0.
msvc toolset responds to the following variables, which can be
set in the environment or configured on the jam command-line using
-sVARIABLE_NAME=value:
| Variable Name | Semantics | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
MSVC_ROOT |
The path to the MSVC installation directory |
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98 |
If MSVCDir is set in the environment, the toolset will
assume VCVARS32.BAThas already been called, and will
ignore this variable. |
VISUALC |
The path to the MSVC installation directory |
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++\VC98 |
If MSVCDir or MSVC_ROOT is set in the
environment, the toolset will assume VCVARS32.BAThas
already been called, and will ignore this variable. |
