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

Sat Oct 5 21:22:02 CEST 2013

(Hope top-posting is OK on this list, sorry if not)

Thanks -- I had not seen those doc links before.  

I tried your user-config.jam (updated for my config), and bjam does find it, but still fails to find a Jamfile for the tutorial example.  I wonder if there is some problem with the Windows boost installer (exe); maybe I should build boost from source?

C:/local/boost_1_54_0/tools/build/v2/build\project.jam:262: in find-jamfile from module project
error: Unable to load Jamfile.
error: Could not find a Jamfile in directory '/local/boost_1_54_0'.
error: Attempted to find it with pattern '[Bb]uild.jam [Jj]amfile.v2 [Jj]amfile [Jj]amfile.jam'.

I notice that the Jamroot in the tutorial example has this:

 # Specify the path to the Boost project.  If you move this project,
 # adjust this path to refer to the Boost root directory.
 use-project boost
   : /local/boost_1_54_0 ;

if I modify that dirname, the error refers to a different dir.  And there is no Jamfile in that dir.

Thanks for all your help;
