Hi! Can any one tell me in details how to prepare jam file for boost.python example, please. I have a test project in directory (on Gentoo linux) ~/Tests/ path to the boost-build is /usr/share/boost-build path to the boost includes is /usr/include/boost path to the boost libs is /usr/lib path to the python includes is /usr/include/python2.4 path to the python libs is /usr/lib/python2.4 Should I have original "boost directory tree"? I have prepared jam file, but still I have an error: Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find "boost-build.jam" Attempted search from /home/sevi/Workspace/Python/boost up to the root and in these directories from BOOST_BUILD_PATH and BOOST_ROOT: /usr/share/boost-build, /usr/share/boost-build/. ############################################### # my jam file ############################################### # This is the top of our own project tree BOOST_ROOT = /usr/include/boost/ ; BOOST_BUILD_PATH = /usr/share/boost-build/ ; #boost-build /usr/share/boost-build/v1 ; PYTHON_VERSION = 2.4 ; PYTHON_ROOT = /usr/lib/python2.4/ ; PYTHON_INCLUDES = /usr/include/python2.4/ ; PYTHON_LIB_PATH = /usr/lib/python2.4/ ; project-root . ; import python ; extension hello # Declare a Python extension called hello : hello.cpp # source # requirements and dependencies for Boost.Python extensions <template>@boost/libs/python/build/extension ; ALL_LOCATE_TARGET = . -- |\/\/| Seweryn Habdank-Wojewódzki \/\/ To reply remove "n0-5p4m-" from e-mail address.
