I've got this message after running a bjam
warning: mismatched versions of Boost.Build engine and core warning: Boost.Build engine (bjam) is 03.1.19 warning: Boost.Build core (at I:/boost-trunk/tools/build/v2) is 2011.04-svn
Should I worry about this?
Just run 'bootstrap' from the tools/build/v2 directory. Make sure the new bjam generated is somewhere in your PATH.
Thanks for this. I've now got C:\Users\Paul>bjam --version Boost.Build 2011.04-svn and no worrying warnings. But I would comment that the assumption of all the build stuff is that you are a *nix expert, who understands the internal working of all these utilities. They are fine when they work, but when they go wrong they leave you floundering in deep water. None of these document what they are going to (try to) do. Rarely is there any guidance for how to verify they have done what is expected. For two simple examples on this particular matter: 1 A few more explanatory words instead of "=DIR" in the instructions, for example, even a suggestion for where? 2 A verification suggestion like C:\Users\Paul>bjam --version Spare more thought for the poor neuronically challenged Microsofties. Assumption is the mother of all foulups! Paul PS Oh - and Norton thinks "bjam.exe" is the Mother of All High Risks, with only 5 users, and promptly deleted it! ;-)
