How to build boost Version 1.58.0 using Visual Studio 2015 (Enterprise)
I like to build boost 1.58.0 using the (new) Visual Studio 2015 (Enterprise). In the past I proceeded in the following way:
- Download boost 1.58.0 from www.boost.org
- Extract files (e.g.
C:\thirdparty\vs2013\x64\boost_1_58_0) - Start Visual Studio 2013 x64 command prompt (
VS2013 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt) - Change to boost directory (e.g.
cd C:\thirdparty\vs2013\x64\boost_1_58_0) - Execute
.\bootstrap.bat - Execute
.\b2 -j8 --toolset=msvc-14.0 address-model=64 --build-type=complete stage - b2 -j8 --toolset=msvc-12.0 address-model=64 --build-type=complete stage --with-python
But in VS2015 there is not VS2015 command prompt.
Also the vcvarsall.bat is missing that I used sometimes to setup a VS2013 command prompt.
How can I compile the source code of boost using VS2015?
Solution
I Tried to install Qt and I had the same issue: vcvarsall.bat was missing. In my case the problem was that I unchecked The Visual C++ Common Tools.
I modified my VS 2015 installation and added the missing feature Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015:
After the modification, the File is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC
