We compiled a version of bjam executable (bjam.exe or bjam) for you, and tested it with Boost release. We strongly recommend you simply to download prebuilt bjam for your platform: - <a>windows</a> - <a>linux</a> - <a>freebsd</a> - <a>solaris</a> - <a>Mac OS X</a>
If your platform isn't in the list, or if you downloaded the latest Boost beta sources from CVS instead of official Boost release, <a>installation guide</a> describes how to compile bjam from sources located in tools/build/jam_src by running build.bat or build.sh.
Latest Boost sources may fail to compile with prebuilt bjam because prebuilt version could become incompatible with Boost *.jam files.
We strongly recommend that you download a prebuilt bjam executable for your platform. If your platform isn't in the following list, or if you downloaded the latest Boost sources from CVS instead of getting an official release, <a>installation guide</a> describes how to build bjam for yourself. - <a>Windows</a> - <a>Linux</a> - <a>FreeBSD</a> - <a>Solaris</a> - <a>Mac OS</a> (I'd leave the rest of the details to <a>installation guide</a>.) -- Rob Stewart stewart@sig.com Software Engineer http://www.sig.com Susquehanna International Group, LLP using std::disclaimer;
