When I try to build with 'bjam tst' it is not able to find the boost headers, which makes sense, because I've not been able to figure out how to indicate where they live.

How is this accomplished?

exe tst : tst.cpp : <include>path/to/boost/headers ;

This works, I think: $ bjam tst ...patience... ...found 371 targets... ...updating 2 targets... gcc.compile.c++ bin/gcc/debug/tst.o gcc.link bin/gcc/debug/tst ...updated 2 targets... Why are there 371 targets? The only target is 'tst' (and perhaps tst.o). Also, adding this in each and every jamfile doesn't seem right. Can I put something in boost.build site-config.jam or user-config.jam to effect all of my projects? How do I specify libs? If I replace the contents of my tst.cpp with regex_split_example_1.cpp how do I indicate that I want to link with the appropriate libboost_regex-*? -K
