Ok. I went back and built bjam and jam from .\tools\build\jam_src. Then
I
tried: /path-to-jam/jam -sBOOST_ROOT=. sTOOLS=msvc You're missing a '-' here --------------^
and got: <result> Couldn't find Python 2.1 installation in c:/tools/python skipping Boost.Python library build You can configure the location of your python installation, by setting: PYTHON_ROOT - currently "c:/tools/python" PYTHON_VERSION - currently "2.1"
The following are automatically configured from PYTHON_ROOT if not otherwise set PYTHON_INCLUDES - path to Python #include directories; currently PYTHON_LIB_PATH - path to Python library; currently "c:/tools/python/libs" "c:/tools/python/PCBuild" PYTHON_STDLIB_PATH - path to Python standard library modules; currently "c:/tools/python/Lib"
Should I just wait for the 1.28.0 pre-build Jam executables (and associated instructions) to be posted?
No, just follow the directions you've got <0.5 wink> -Dave
