Hi Dave,

 

1. I dont have BOOST_ROOT defined in my environment.

 

2. I still get messages with loading jam files when I try

 

C:\temp\boost_1_32_0>bjam -sBOOST_ROOT=."-sTOOLS=vc-7_1"  install
---------------------------------------------------------------------
skipping Boost.Python library build due to missing or incorrect configuration

 

couldn't find Python.h in "c:/tools/python/include"

 

You can configure the location of your python installation by setting:
PYTHON_ROOT    - currently "c:/tools/python"
PYTHON_VERSION - The 2-part python Major.Minor version number (e.g.
                 "2.2", NOT "2.2.1")  - currently "2.2"

 

The following are automatically configured from PYTHON_ROOT if not
otherwise set:

 

    PYTHON_LIB_PATH       - path to Python library object; currently
                          "c:/tools/python/libs"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Jamfile:247: in load-jamfiles
*** argument error

* called with: ( include/boost-1_32 :  : <locate>C:\Boost <tree-subdirs>C:\temp\
boost_1_32_0 <target>install :  )

C:\temp\boost_1_32_0\tools\build\v1\bootstrap.jam:21: in boost-build
C:\temp\boost_1_32_0\boost-build.jam:16: in module scope

 

3. I can't see any files as per your instructions in c:\boost.

     cd boost
     DIR compatibility\cpp_c_headers\c*
     DIR *.hpp *.ipp *.h *.inc

4. If I try to download a fresh boost download which version should I download for this to work with vc 7.1?

 

Regards
