Buidling boost error: Name clash for '<pstage\lib>boost_system-vc120-mt-1_58.dll'

问题

I'm trying to build boost on windows 8.1 with Visual Studio 2013 on 64bit system.

b2 toolset="msvc" address-model=64 -s ZLIB_SOURCE=C:\H\M\zlib --build-type=complete stage

Here is full output:

What does it mean and how to resolve it?

Thanks

回答1:

builds if I add --without-context --without-coroutine to b2 options

回答2:

Did you get boost from git repository?

If so, I think the latest version available in git is broken. Today I tried to compile it too and if you would solve errors you mentioned, you will get another errors because of incomplete files in destination directories (boost ptr_container library isn't installed after compilation from source)

The solution was download latest boost version from their site (http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.57.0/). After that, compilation and installation works correctly

From the Boost 1.58 beta release notes:

Important Note

There is a bug with the build scripts; you have to specify the address-mode and architecture to b2. I used:

./b2 address-model=64 architecture=x86

to test this.

Adding these flags to the b2 command solves the problem without having to exclude the context and coroutine libraries (handy if, say, you actually use these libraries, like I do!).

Naturally, if you're building 32-bit libraries, you want to add address-model=32 instead.

In my case I was using variant=release,debug command line argument, which was causing name collision.

I've added extra argument --layout=tagged and problem disappeared.

Maybe you have two version of g++ available in $PATH. Try running where g++. If you see two g++ then remove one from $PATH. And then start over all the build process again. That worked for me and
