Hi all,

I am trying to use Boost.Build to build my own project. However...

First of all, you did not specify if you're using V1 or V2. If V2, then - you can either use the version in Boost CVS or a complete package from http://boost.org/boost-build2 - there's even tutorial documentation:

http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/tutorial.html#bbv2.tutorial.hell o

...

and example in <v2-root>/example

I was trying V1. Should I use V2? Is it stable? Is there much difference? What is used now to build Boost?

I think I figured it out :-) Things got mu-uch better after I copied bjam.exe into tools/build/v1, and made it the build directory. This dir already contains all the needed files. I wonder if this is what really needs to be done... or is it possible to do the same with the PATH? Thanks, Arkadiy
