How to build Boost (I tried version 1.48.0) with Visual Studio C++ 11? bootstrap.bat cannot find toolset vc11. I added toolset vc11 to F:\Programming\boost_1_48_0\tools\build\v2\engine\build.bat but got a message:
ERROR: Cannot determine the location of the VS Common Tools folder.
EDIT: The Ferruccio answer works for VS 2012 Express and Boost 1.51.0 too.
I managed to get it to build by following these steps:
It does generate a lot of warnings about not being able to detect the toolkit version, but it proceeds anyway.
Update: I created GitHub repo called cclibs which makes it simpler to build Boost and some other C++ libraries.
