I was trying to build boost on my laptop running Windows XP&nbsp; with SP2.<br>
I downloaded the .exe file and unpacked it on my desktop that is &quot;C:\Documents And Settings\Administratör\Skrivbord\&quot;<br>
(administratör = administrator in swedish, skrivbord = desktop in swedish). Put the bjam.exe file in there and tried to build<br>
with &quot;-sTOOLS=vc-8_0&quot;. And here starts the problem, it doesn't build, it complains about that it cant find the dir<br>
and therefor it fails to copy all the files.<br>
The only solution to this problem was to unpack the boost-install-dir in C:\ (or D:\) and build it from there.<br>
Doesn't Jam-files support spaces in dirs or letters that aren't in the standard alphabet (a-z A-Z 0-9) like ĺäö?<br>
