Build boost on visual studio 2013 XP toolset

Question

I need to build boost (1.55) with VS2013, but the regular toolset (toolset=msvc-12.0) doesn't work on XP. There is a different toolset for XP (which you can change in VS itself).

Does anyone know the toolset string I need to use in order to compile boost for XP using msvc-12.0 ?

EDIT: I'm using b2.exe

Thanks You!

It explains how to compile in command line using cl.exe and choose XP toolset.

When compiling boost, before starting the build itself using b2.exe, insert all required parameters in order to choose 120_xp toolset.

Answer 2

put for b2.ex --toolset=msvc-12.0_xp
