Building Boost Libraries With Intel Compiler

Question

I have installed Intel Parallel Studio XE 2013 in addition to Visual Studio 2012 on a 32bit Windows 7 machine. I have tried to build Boost 1.53 with Intel compiler by follow

Answer 1

After an intensive search, finally I have found the solution. As explained in this link, there are two patches to apply to boost folder:

1. intel-win.jam file in [boost-source-directory]\tools\build\v2\tools needs to be replaced by the file given in the link.

2. project-config.jam needs to be replaced by intel-user-config.jam given in the link and build command should be changed to:

b2 --user-config=intel-user-config.jam --toolset=intel

Note that intel compiler version number may need to be modified according to your existing ICC installation in the file intel-user-config.jam.
