I know how to build boost with the latest visual studio on my machine (this question, for example)
However, I need to build the libs for Visual Studio 2008 (vc9)
I tried using toolset=vc9 but I get problems/no success.
How can I build the libs for vc9?
After I run boostrap I try running
b2 toolset=vc9
but the output is:

6.1 Link From Within the Visual Studio IDE Right-click example in the Solution Explorer pane and select Properties from the resulting pop-up menu. In Configuration Properties > Linker > Additional Library Directories, enter the path to the Boost binaries, e.g. C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_55_0\lib\.
Create a Boost.In the Add New Item dialog, expand Installed > Visual C++ > Test. Select Boost. Test, then choose Add to add Test. cpp to your project.
Linking the Boost libraries on Visual Studio (Note: In case your project builds a static library, the “Linker” menu will be shown as “Librarian”.) Select the drop-down button and then click <Edit..>. Add the following value: C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_76_0\bin\$(PlatformTarget)\lib , and hit OK.
toolset=msvc-9.0
I have VS2008-Pro and VS2010-Express installed. The default ran with VS2010. Setting toolset=msvc-9.0 caused the build to run with VS2008. Using Boost 1.51.0.
