[C++-sig] Building tutorial example out of the boost tree, on Windows

[Wojciech Mamrak]

hi,

have you placed user-config.jam in your %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%
location, and configured Python inside it, e.g.

using msvc : 10.0 : : ;

using python
  : 2.7 #version
  : D:/Python27 # cmd-or-prefix
  : D:/Libs/Python273/include #includes
  : D:/Libs/Python273/libs #libraries
  ;

as described here:

http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/reference/tools.html
http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/overview/configuration.html
http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/overview/invocation.html

?

regards

I installed boost_1_54_0 using the VS10 installer, then built bjam using 'bootstrap; .\b2 toolset=msvc', then copied bjam into my $PATH.  I can build and run the quickstart and tutorial examples in the distribution (I had to add some MSVC lib dirs as library-path requirements in Jamroot, but that's OK). But when I copy the tutorial example to a different dir, not inside the boost distribution dir, to make it more like a real project, bjam gives build errors. I changed the use-project boost location in Jamroot to /local/boost_1_54_0/ which is where boost wanted to install itself, and added a simple one-line boost-build.jam (based on something I found online):
