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 : ../../../.. ; became: path-global BOOST_ROOT : $(BOOST_ROOT_DIR) ; and left all else the same. However when I built, it complained that it couldn't find boost-build.jam. Any ideas what might be missing/not set up right, or if I missed a step? Thanks so much, Lawrence

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
