Dear All,
I got a trouble with building bjam.exe and I need your help.
I downloaded boost 1.33.1 today and put it into c:\boost_1_33_1 directory. I failed to build bjam.exe when running build.bat from tools\build\jam_src directory. The outputs of the first and second runs (1.txt and 2.txt respectively) of the build.bat are attached.
I have Visual Net 2003 with windows xp sp2 32bit on AMD athlon x2 64 (dual core).
The interesting thing is that the script creates (empty) directory c:\bin.ntx86 during its run. I guess it should not happen since it should be created in jam_src.
Moreover, when I take bjam.exe from other place, put it into my computer and try to build boost I get similar results : bjam creates directories "bin", "stage" in the root directory (c:\) instead of creating it in c:\boost1.33.1
Try downloading the prebuilt bjam executable, this is labeled boost-jam-3.1.11-1-ntx86.zip on the download page. I succesfully downloaded and built for the same platform, with the exception that my dir is C:\boost\boost_1_33_1, as I have previous versions of boost as well. Copy the downloaded bjam.exe to your C:\boost_1_33_1 directory, cd to C:\boost_1_33_1 and type: bjam -sTOOLS=vc-7_1 stage Jeff Flinn
