Yeah, I just posted about this on the jamboost list.

Err. No. You're mixing v2 and v1 invocation styles. You don't use -sTOOLS with v2. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
