Hi,

About 3 months ago I managed to build boost libs and left myself the following instructions:

Extract boost to -> cd C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_43_0

Build bjam -> bootstrap.bat

Issue the following command -> bjam --toolset=msvc-9.0 stage variant=debug threading=multi link=static runtime-link=static --with-filesystem --with-iostreams --with-regex --with-serialization --with-signals --with-system --with-thread --with-wave

before it build the libs in the default 'stage' directory. Now the command fails to accept any of the lib names. If i remove filesystem, it fails on the next... and so on.

C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_44_0>win32_build_boost_libs.bat error: wrong library name 'filesystem' in the --with- option.

Can anyone tell me why, Ive spent 3 hours trying to google for this but cant find anything :-(

Im sure its something stupid but the process works on my old laptop but not on my new. They both have the same visual studio, version of boost, archive of boost, path variables.... It really is quite frustrating.

Thanks.
