Building Boost 1.56 with Intel C++ Compiler 2015 Windows

I have seen the other questions regarding compiling Boost with the Intel C++ compiler, however, I have had no luck.

I first launch the Intel Parallel Studio XE 2015 Composer Edition IA-32 Visual Studio 2013 CMD and then cd to my boost directory (C:\boost_1_56_0). I run bootstrap.bat (no problems here). I then run b2 toolset=intel and I get an error saying cannot find Intel compiler...

C:/boost_1_56_0/tools/build/src/tools\intel-win.jam:57: in intel-win.init from module intel-win error: No intel compiler version found! C:/boost_1_56_0/tools/build/src/build\toolset.jam:43: in toolset.using from module toolset C:/boost_1_56_0/tools/build/src/tools\intel.jam:32: in intel.init from module intel C:/boost_1_56_0/tools/build/src/build\toolset.jam:43: in toolset.using from module toolset C:/boost_1_56_0/tools/build/src\build-system.jam:461: in process-explicit-toolset-requests from module build-system C:/boost_1_56_0/tools/build/src\build-system.jam:527: in load from module build-system C:\boost_1_56_0\tools\build\src/kernel\modules.jam:289: in import from module modules C:\boost_1_56_0\tools\build\src/kernel/bootstrap.jam:139: in boost-build from module C:\boost_1_56_0\boost-build.jam:17: in module scope from module`

Is there some setting that I need to change so that it detects the Intel C++ 2015 compiler? The target is IA32 and I am using Visual Studio 2013

I think I've solved this one. Basically, when calling b2, toolset=intel no longer seems to do. I suspect that the bjam people have messed things up internally. To cut the story short, you now need to explicitly specify your toolset versions, so for example calling something like:

b2 toolset="intel-12.1-vc2013"

Yes, that's vc and not vs. Hope this helps.

Update: turns out that it doesn't work with Intel C++ 2015 but luckily you can simply change the intel-win.jam build file to this content to support the new 15.0 toolset and then run the build as b2 toolset="intel-15.0". I've just rebuilt Boost this way, so I know it works.

Here's the command line I build it with: b2 toolset="intel-15.0" address-model=64 threading=multi variant=release link=static -j 4
