Hello,

I build my library using boost build.

The problem is that I can only compile it with boost.build 3.1.18 & 
boost 1.41.

When I use boost.build > 3.1.18 I get an error. Please see recent post 
named 'Issue with boost build'.

I also tried to use boost build that comes with boost 1.45
(boost.build 3.1.19) I get the same error as when I use nightly build.

D:/work/extra/boost-build\build-system.jam:722: in load
*** argument error
* rule project.load ( jamfile-location )
* called with: (  )
* missing argument jamfile-location
D:/work/extra/boost-build/build\project.jam:53:see definition of rule 
'load' being called
D:\work\extra\boost-build\kernel\modules.jam:283: in import
D:\work\extra\boost-build\kernel\bootstrap.jam:142: in boost-build
D:\work\extra\boost-build\boost-build.jam:8: in module scope

But this boost.build 3.1.19 succesfully builds boost 1.45. But when I 
use it with my scripts the error occurs. The error happens in 
boost.build scripts: D:/work/extra/boost-build\build-system.jam:722.

I repeat that my scripts working properly with boost 1.41 & boost.build 
3.1.18.

When I use boost.build > 3.1.18 it causes an error and the version of 
boost doesn't matter. It can be either 1.41 or 1.45 error happens anyway.

Scripts available here: http://libunicomm.org

Thank you.
