2b) During my boost saga I realized I couldn’t have boost installed just anywhere, it had to be at either c:\boost or d:\boost.

Read file FindBoost.cmake, you will understand how it works:

finding boost is a quite complex task in fact we (specially Andreas) had a hard time to write FindBoost.cmake

I guess your problems are related to your VC++ problems since FindBoost.cmake uses stuffs like if (MSVC80) if (MSVC71)

Create a build_nmake_clean.bat, that resets everything to the beginning. That way there are no spare directories and files lying about that could confuse the situation and everyone starts from the baseline.

I just delete my entire build directory sometimes ;)

If something is out of place in the env, i.e. boost, it would be helpful for a message such as: “I’m looking for boost in c:\boost and d:\boost, and I can’t find it. If it’s somewhere else, please set the BOOST_ROOT env variable to that location so that I can find the damn thing.” That way I know what is wrong, not just that something is wrong.

Put in the TODO list

thx for the feedback
