Hi all,

I am trying to use Boost.Build to build my own project. However I found out that the documentation, while doing a good job in explaining details, is petty difficult to use if all one wants to know is how to use bjam to build a "Hello world" project in a couple of toolsets.

I already downloaded bjam.exe, and I have no problem in creating the jamfile. However, AFAIU, I need more files to be installed, such as jamrools, files that describe toolsets, etc. Can anybody to just list which files are needed, where to get, and where to put them? Or point me to where it's described if I missed something...

First of all, you did not specify if you're using V1 or V2. If V2, then - you can either use the version in Boost CVS or a complete package from http://boost.org/boost-build2 - there's even tutorial documentation: http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/tutorial.html#bbv2.tutorial.hell... and example in <v2-root>/example - Volodya
