[C++-sig] Problem Compiling Boost.Python Example

[Payam Shiva]

I'm totally new to Boost.Python, so I'm trying to follow the tutorial.
It says to cd to the tutorial folder and invoke bjam. When I do this,
it still gives me the same error message.

I tried using VS too. I did the following:
1. I created a new project (W32 Project and I chose DLL output)
2. I added C:\Boost\boost_1_49_0 and C:\Python27\include to C/C++
additional include directories in property manager
3. I added C:\Boost\lib32 and C:\Python27\libs to additional linker
directories in property manager
4. I choose not to use precompiled headers
5. I delete the automatically created files, create a new C++ source
file named hello.cpp and copy the contents of hello world example from
the tutorial in it.
6. I build the project. It gives me the following message:

1>------ Build started: Project: BPTest, Configuration: Release Win32 ------
1>Build started 4/6/2012 1:25:35 PM.

Please help me understand what to do to build this simple example,
under VS or bjam.

Thanks
