Question

I’m trying to build Boost 1.49.0 using MSVC2010 and it fails with the following error:

file bin.v2\libs\math\build\msvc-10.0\release\link-static\runtime-link-static\threading-multi\assoc_laguerre.obj.rsp

assoc_laguerre.cpp
c1xx : fatal error C1027: Inconsistent values for /Ym between creation and use of precompiled header

That is the first instance of that error, my log file has 995 instances of the same error before the build aborts.

The contents of project-config.jam are:

import option ; 

using msvc ; 

option.set keep-going : false ; 

using python : 3.2 : C:\\Tools\\Python\\3.2.2 ;

And the build command I used is:

b2 --toolset=msvc-10.0 --build-type=complete stage -q -d+2 -sICU_PATH="C:\Tools\ICU\4.8.1.1"

Any idea what’s causing this?

Answer 1

Here is an explanation of the error, and here is someone who had this problem when building something else and his solution.

He modified his /Zm parameter from /Zm1000 to /Zm500 (you have /Zm800). I don’t know if changing it to the same value will help you, but you can try playing with it (this compiler’s flag explanation can be found here).

You can use the cxxflags command line argument to modify the compiler flags (taken from here).
