I was getting similar errors to those reported by the OP. Adding the "import python ;" line reduced the errors, but still produced:
bjam toolset=msvc --verbose-test test Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled. Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information (don't panic: this is a strictly optional feature). notice: could not find main target test notice: assuming it's a name of file to create don't know how to make <e>test ...found 1 target... ...can't find 1 target...
This is on Windows XP with VC++ 8.0 SP1. Out of idle curiosity I then ran with: bjam toolset=msvc --verbose-test Everything seemed to work fine and both tests reported **passed** I was a little surprised that neither test_embed nor test_ext produced .dll's. Does that mean it is OK to static link? --Beman
