I've just looked through entire http://www.boost.org/doc/html/jam/building.html

It never say to invoke "bjam --toolset=xxx". In fact, it never say to invoke bjam *at all*. Can you explain why are you doing that?

That's for building bjam itself.

I know. That's the document that original poster referred to.

The other document, "Getting Started With Boost", says in section 5.2.4 that you can build Boost from source by invoking bjam:

I'm afraid that if we operate under assumption that email that say "document XXX say" as saying "document YYY say" we're not going to achieve anything.

"Change your current directory to the Boost root directory

Original poster say: So I do C:\Documents and Settings\src\boost\tools\jam\src and then bjam --toolset=mingw stage Since when is tools\jam\src named "Boost root directory"? - Volodya
