How to build boost libraries with bcc32 v6.31 + Borland XE?

I am trying to build boost_1_39 provided with Borland Rad Studio XE using WinXP. The latest version of Developer Studio provides boost_1_39 installer, but not the prebuilt libraries.

Using bjam:

\tools\jam\src\bin.ntx86\bjam --build-dir=c:\boostsource --toolset=borland -d +1 

I get the following errors:

Is there a way to build the latest boost libraries with bcc32 version 6.31 supplied with Borland XE?

Are you referring to specific libraries that do not come installed with the XE version of the IDE? A good portion of the libraries already come with the product.

The libraries that I see are the following:

• Date Time
• Filesystem
• IOStreams
• Regex
• Serialization
• Signals
• System
• Thread
• Test

Of course, much of what boost provides is in the form of headers and therefore don't need to be compiled.

The combinations of bcc32 and boost::program_options didn't work so well in 1_39. (and that's why it didn't ship with the .lib files for it) You'll probably have to set up a parallel installation of 1_34_1 of boost and tweak it a bit to rebuild the program_options libraries.
