33  <p>Boost.Build's <a href="vc-8_0-tools.jam">vc-8_0</a> toolset supports the
34  Microsoft <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/" target="_blank">Visual C++</a> .NET
35  2005 (Visual Studio or Express edition). This toolset is an
36  extention to the <code><a href="msvc-tools.html">msvc</a></code> toolset
37  and is useful for when you need to have access to several versions of
38  Visual C++.</p>

40  <h2>Configuration Variables</h2>
41  <p>The <code>vc-8_0</code> toolset responds to
42  the following variables which can be set in the environment or configured on
43  the jam command-line using <code>-s<i>VARIABLE_NAME</i>=</code><i>value</i>:

70  <h3>Note about warnings</h3>
71  <p>The implementation of the standard C++ library bundled with
72  Visual C++ .NET 2005 might issue a number of spurious
73  warnings <i>feature is deprecated</i> when using Boost headers. The
74  warnings come from the "Safe" C++ Library, which labels many
75  standard C and C++ library constructs as deprecated when in fact
76  they may be used safely and
77  correctly. Define <code>_SCL_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE</code> globally to
78  eliminate these errors. Alternatively, you can enclose all includes
79  of Boost headers and C++ standard library headers with <code>#pragma
80      warning(disable:4996)</code>, as demonstrated below:<br><br>
81
82  <pre>
83  #pragma warning(push)
84  #pragma warning(disable : 4996)<br>
85  #include &lt;vector&gt;
86  #include &lt;algorithm&gt;
87  #include &lt;boost/shared_ptr.hpp&gt;
88  #include &lt;boost/noncopyable.hpp&gt;
89  #include &lt;boost/array.hpp&gt;<br>
90  #pragma warning(pop)<br>
91  </pre>
92  </p>
93  <h3>Note about Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition</h3>
94  <p>Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition is distributed <i>without</i> Windows API
95  headers and libraries (that is Platform SDK). These headers and libraries
96  are <i>required</i> to build and use boost on Windows and can be
97  <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/platformsdk" target="_blank">
98  downloaded from Microsoft web site</a>, which also provides
99  <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/" target="_blank">
100  installation instruction</a>. The only required component of
101  Platform SDK is "Microsoft Windows Core SDK".  After installation is
102  completed, you will need to manually edit <code>vsvars32.bat</code>
103  file in  <code>%VS80COMNTOOLS%</code> directory  (default is
104  <code>C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\</code> )
105  and append full path to Platform SDK <code>include</code>,
106  <code>lib</code> and <code>bin</code> subdirectories to
107  <code>INCLUDE</code>, <code>LIB</code> and <code>PATH</code>
108  environment variables that are set in this file, respectively.
109  Alternatively, you might install Platform SDK  to directory
110  <code>%VC80_ROOT%\PlatformSDK</code> (which usually resolves to
111  <code>C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\PlatformSDK</code> ),
112  because this directory name  is apparently preconfigured in default
113  installation of Visual C++ 2005 Express.</p>
114
115  <p>Boost build will call <code>vsvars32.bat</code> batch file
116  (indirectly through <code>%VC80_ROOT%\bin\vcvars32.bat</code>) in
117  order to set environment variables that are required  by Visual C++ compiler
118  and linker if <code>MSVCDir</code> enrironment variable is not set.
119  If you set <code>MSVCDir</code> environment variable in your computer
120  configuration or any other batch file executed before boost build is
121  commenced, please make sure to adjust <code>INCLUDE</code> and
122  <code>LIB</code> accordingly in order to enable Visual C++ to use Platform SDK headers and libraries.</p>
123
124  <p>Please note that boost <i>does not support</i> Visual C++ 2005
125  projects that are targeted on CLR platform. Currently the only supported
126        platform for Visual C++ line of compilers is Win32. This does not preclude
127        building GUI applications that use boost, because Win32 supports development
128        of Windows GUI applications, even though Visual C++ 2005 Express
129  lacks ATL, MFC or Windows application project template.
130  If you need GUI framework that can be used with Visual C++ 2005 Express, try

132  or <a href="http://smartwin.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">SmartWin++</a>
133  or <a href="http://dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/wtl/" target="_blank">WTL</a>
