Hello all. Quick question on boost-jam, because I couldn't get it work right on my system. When I went into the $BOOST_ROOT_DIR\libs\python\example\tutorial directory and build as follows:

bjam -sTOOLS=vc-7_1

It built with no problems.

I then took the tutorial example and moved it outside the boost tree. I edited the Jamrules so that:

path-global BOOST_ROOT : ../../../.. ;

You need to *also* set BOOST_ROOT in environment. The above is Boost.Build definition, and for it to have any effect, or be even read, bjam must be able to find Boost.Build first. - Volodya _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
