mismatched versions of Boost.Build engine and core
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?

Is this supposed to be --toolset=msvc or --toolset msvc Suggestions?

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! ;-)

Maybe. I've been ignoring it for now.
I've tried to re-build using
I:\boost-trunk\tools\build\v2\engine>bjam --toolset=msvc>build_bat.log
but it still complains
### No toolset specified. Please use --toolset option.
Is this supposed to be
--toolset=msvc
or --toolset msvc
Suggestions?
toolset=msvc (no --)
PS This bit of the doc didn't seem right be me
"For the Boost.Jam source included with the Boost distribution the jam source location is BOOST_ROOT/tools/jam/src."
and was suggesting running build.bat
I use build.bat to build bjam.
I:\boost_1_46_0\tools\build\v2\engine\src contained build.bat and build.jam

Do you know why bootstrap.bat haven't toolset argument that forwards to build.bat? Selected build strategy on windows is not well, i think. * automatic toolset detection should only be given as an option (maybe keywords 'default' or 'auto' are fit) * hope to find toolset on its default dir is naive -- - Do you speak English?
