After more investigation * Confirmed that bjam is in the PATH * I have captured the first few lines of the output (below) ------------ OUTPUT HEADER ------- ...patience... ...found 9076 targets... ...updating 3307 targets... MkDir1 C:\Boost mkdir "C:\Boost" ...failed MkDir1 C:\Boost... .----------------------------- END OF HEADER ------------- It looks like it fails on directory creation. I am running this as the administrator, so it cannot be a permission problem. Just to make sure I created the C:\Boost by hand and re-ran the bjam invocation. This time the top few lines read ------------------ OUTPUT HEADER ------ ...patience... ...found 9076 targets... ...updating 3306 targets... MkDir1 C:\Boost\lib mkdir "C:\Boost\lib" ...failed MkDir1 C:\Boost\lib... -------------- END HEADER -------- confirming what I suspected. Since this is the first time I am using bjam, I dont know how to fix this. Any help is appreciated. - Murali Rene Rivera wrote:

Nice! Thanks for listing the basic info most people don't mention :-)
I get a whole lot of lines of the form ...skipped XXX for lack of YYY... and finally get
...failed updating 2 targets ...skipped 3077 targets
Any pointers on what I am doing wrong.
What you did looks reasonable. What the failures you are seeing? What does it skip building? Are they compile errors?
