[Boost-users] Re: a simple question from a green hand

You have to build bjam. Go to $BOOST_ROOT/tools/build/jam_src and run ./build.sh. The resulting executable will be at: $BOOST_ROOT/tools/build/jam_src/bin.linuxx86/bjam I sugguest making a symbolic link in a public directory that references this file. Gump Xu wrote:

Hi, there. I am a new user of Boost lib. I have a simple question about installation. I've download and unpacked boost-1.32.0 to my Linux box. When I followed the instruction in "Get Started" to install Boost, I found there was no such a "bjam" binary file in my ~/boost_1_32_0 directory. Can anybody help me out? Thank you.
