Compiling boost with zlib

Question

I'm compiling boost with bjam under Windows 7 (64bit-should be irrelevant)

D:\development\boost\boost_1_44\libs\iostreams\build>bjam stage ^
--toolset=msvc-10.0 link=static ^
--build-type=complete ^
-s ZLIB_SOURCE=C:\zlib125-dll ^
-s ZLIB_LIBPATH=C:\zlib125-dll\lib ^
-s ZLIB_INCLUDE=C:\zlib125-dll\include ^
-s ZLIB_BINARY=C:\zlib125-dll

But I only get

stage/libboost_iostreams-vc100-mt-gd-1_44.lib
bin.v2/libs/iostreams/build/msvc-10.0/debug/threading-multi/boost_iostreams-vc100-mt-gd-1_44.dll
bin.v2/libs/iostreams/build/msvc-10.0/debug/threading-multi/boost_iostreams-vc100-mt-gd-1_44.lib

bin.v2/libs/iostreams/build/zlib/msvc-10.0/debug/threading-multi/boost_zlib-vc100-mt-gd-1_44.dll
bin.v2/libs/iostreams/build/zlib/msvc-10.0/debug/threading-multi/boost_zlib-vc100-mt-gd-1_44.lib

but stage/libboost_zlib-vc100-mt-gd-1_44.lib is missing.

Am I compiling something wrong?

when I try running my project that worked well with boost and self-compiled boost/thread libraries I get the following error when I include the boost zlib stuff

6>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_zlib-vc100-mt-gd-1_44.lib'

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

I did manage to build them using the option
-sZLIB_SOURCE="C:\zlib-1.2.5"
Note there is no space after the -s and the quotes around the path.
