Unit Test Framework Static library compilation

Hi all. This is Boost 1.52.0 and Visual Studio 2012 Express (VC11). I am stuck with the static compilation of the Unit Test Framework, as documented here: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/libs/test/doc/html/utf/compilation/stan... I get the message 'bjam' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file while using the command bjam [-sTOOLS=] {-sBUILD=boost_unit_test_framework} as read in the documentation. Boost is not installed on my computer (header-only). And, maybe the library Boost.build HAS to be installed first? (if it so, how do I do that?) That would be great if someone give a clear explanation of that. Thank you very much, indeed. Édouard -- http://quantcorner.wordpress.com

Wow. That page is really outdated.

That is Boost.Build V1 syntax. Completely obsolete.

The official page is the "Getting Started Guide" at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/more/getting_started/windows.html which covers all libraries including Boost.Test.

Do you mind fining it with correct new syntax in boost.test docs?
I have put it on my list. Not sure when I can fix this. I think the best solution would be to complete remove this page and just link to the "Getting Started" guide which provides much deeper documentation. Yours, Jürgen -- * Dipl.-Math.
