Try to use the command line with changed back slash to slash, i.e. C:\Python25 to C:/Python25 With Kind Regards, Ovanes _____ From: Yutaka Leon Suematsu [mailto:yutaka@atr.jp] Sent: Tuesday, December 26, 2006 4:07 AM To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Subject: [Boost-users] Installation problems Hello Dear Boosters! Merry X'MAS and Happy New Year! I have some problems when installing the current version from cvs. I tried in Windows XP with VC++ 2003 and Python 2.5. * Command 1 C:\Source\boost>bjam -sTOOLS=vc-7_1 --with-python-version=2.5 --with-python-root=C:\Python25 --prefix="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7" install * Result error: wrong library name 'python-version=2.5' in the --with-<library> option. ------- *Command 2 C:\Source\boost>bjam -sTOOLS=vc-7_1 --with-python-root=C:\Python25 --with-python-version=2.5 --prefix="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7" install *Result error: wrong library name 'python-root=C:\Python25' in the --with-<library> option. -------- * Command 3 ( Defining PYTHON_ROOT and PYTHON_VERSION) C:\Source\boost>bjam -sTOOLS=vc-7_1 --prefix="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7" install * Result The mpi module has not been initialized; MPI libraries will not be built. hint: add "using mpi ;" to user-config.jam to enable MPI support. warning: Python location is not configured warning: the Boost.Python library won't be built Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled. Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information (and if you don't know what ICU is then you probably don't need it). warning: No toolsets are configured. warning: Configuring default toolset "msvc". warning: If the default is wrong, you may not be able to build C++ programs. warning: Use the "--toolset=xxxxx" option to override our guess. warning: For more configuration options, please consult ECHO warning: http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/configuration.html -------- *** From this message, it can also be observed that even though "vc-7_1" was defined as toolset, bjam is using "msvc" I tried to install the same version in a Mac and problem is the same. Any ideas or fixes to this problem? I should notice that I am using the bjam (from source) obtained from the cvs version of boost Thank you in advance. Yutaka Leon Suematsu.
