I attempted to build bcp with Jam V2 and como under Win2k with the latest CVS source and the latest bjam.exe. My como installation is in H:\Utilities\Comeau directory and is already set up to use a back end compiler. I executed:

Wait a minute! Do you have Comeau toolset for V2? I'm asking because I'm not aware that it exists
Comeau compiler ? Of course it exists. What do you mean by Comeau toolset for V2 ? Do you mean that bjam V2 does not support the toolsets that bjam V1 supports ? If this is the case, certainly it should be documented.
, and besides, the "-s" syntax is not used for any V2 toolset, and also "-sTOOLS" syntax is also not used for Boost.Build V2.
I had not realized that at all. I never dreamed that the bjam V2 command line syntax was incompatible with bjam V1. I am surmising now that one is really not supposed to be using bjam V2 at all yet, or that the documentation for using bjam V2 is incomplete. I naturally assumed that bjam V2 was usable, given the Jamfile.V2 files for each Jamfile.
So, it seems like you are trying to use Boost.Build V2 just like V1.
Yes, exactly.
For example, if Comeau toolset for V2 is written, one would put
using comeau : : H:\Utilities\Comeau ;
into user-config.jam and then run
bjam --v2 comeau
OK, evidently the way to use bjam V2, from the user's point of view, is different from bjam V1. I naively assumed that bjam V2 would support the same command line syntax as bjam V1 in ordser to be backward compatible. I have now looked at Boost.Build V2 User Manual. It appears much more complicated to use than V1 but I will follow the suggestion above and see if I can build it correctly. Thanks for the info !
from the boost\tools\bcp directory and received this output indicating

Try updating your bjam and rebuilding it.
I have the latest bjam executable for Windows from sourceforge. Does this not support V2 ?
