I tried to find what's wrong (no I'm not using NT, I'm using XP) and didn't see anything obvious. I added after: echo ### Using '%BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET%' toolset. the following lines echo ### BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET_ROOT='%BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET_ROOT%' echo ### BOOST_JAM_CC='%BOOST_JAM_CC%' echo ### BOOST_JAM_OPT_JAM='%BOOST_JAM_OPT_JAM%' echo ### BOOST_JAM_OPT_MKJAMBASE='%BOOST_JAM_OPT_MKJAMBASE%' echo ### BOOST_JAM_OPT_YYACC='%BOOST_JAM_OPT_YYACC%' echo ### _known_='_%_known_%_' perhaps the additional output you get will help find the problem. ....this is what I get.....

I'm trying to build the bjam executable by running build.bat from the boost/tools/build/jam_src directory. Here's what I get:

I'd appreciate any help I can get with this.
After looking intently at the script I can't see any obvious reason for it to fail. Only suggestion I can come up with is to try and see if things work better if you force CMD extensions on: "CMD.EXE /X"
HTH.
Thanks for looking into this Rene.
I tried as you suggested and found that CMD extensions are already enabled by default for backwards compatibility. I did try without forcing extensions: (started cmd with "cmd.exe /y") C:\boost\tools\build\jam_src>build.bat vc7 ### ### Using '' toolset. ###
It then goes about trying to build bjam. It doesn't get very far since it's using no toolset.
Has anyone else been able to successfully build bjam on a similar system/setup?
Thx, Bart
