msvc toolset

Introduction

Boost.Build's msvc toolset supports the Microsoft Visual C++ command-line tools on Microsoft Windows. It supports any version of Visual C++, but in case you have more than one version of Visual C++ installed, and you want to use both, the additional vc7 toolset can be used for Visual C++ 7.0.

Configuration Variables

The msvc toolset responds to the following variables, which can be set in the environment or configured on the jam command-line using -sVARIABLE_NAME=value:

Variable Name	Semantics	Default	Notes
`MSVC_ROOT`	The path to the MSVC installation directory	`c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98`	If `MSVCDir` is set in the environment, the toolset will assume `VCVARS32.BAT`has already been called, and will ignore this variable.
`VISUALC`	The path to the MSVC installation directory	`c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++\VC98`	If `MSVCDir` or `MSVC_ROOT` is set in the environment, the toolset will assume `VCVARS32.BAT`has already been called, and will ignore this variable.
