Can you help me to fix it?

Basicly I need to use the timer library, but I got error
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_timer-vc100-mt-gd-1_55.lib'
so I tried the bjam to solve the problem. But when I run the compile command I got errors that some files are missing...

[helios]

Did you run bjam from the Visual Studio console?

[Duthomhas]

Sometimes the Boost development team accidentally breaks the PC stuff. You might just wait a few days to see if they fix it.

Otherwise you'll have to dig through the build files to figure out where the error is, and that is not a happy chore.

[h4ever]

helios - I tried it now. Sometimes I got error (repetitively): Running is not name of inner onr outer command (translated).

Looks like they try to echo text "Running program name" directly, without using echo command. Also it seems I need to wait every time for keypress, but I did not see any message "Pres a key to continue". So I have no idea if the command succeeds or not and if I should press a key.

Edit:
I see -

Edit 2:
I have found the file which was reported as missing - error_code.obj - in previous test. Now it is there:
boost_1_55_0\libs\timer\build\boost\bin.v2\libs\system\build\msvc-10.0\debug
also I see some files here:
boost_1_55_0\libs\timer\build\boost\bin.v2\libs\timer\build\msvc-10.0\debug

Is this the file that I should expect as final product?
boost_timer-vc100-gd-1_55.dll
boost_timer-vc100-gd-1_55.lib

I think that it succeeded. So I need to run it from the VS console. Thanks a lot!

[h4ever]

I successfully compiled the libraries and renamed them as the compiled searched different names. So I compiled my program now. Thanks.

[helios]

If you need to rename anything, you're doing something wrong. The easiest way to make sure you'll get the libs/DLLs you'll need to to pass
--build-type=complete
to bjam.
