Hello,
 
I'm tryin to build Boost for Visual Studio 2005. I already have build successfully  the Boost librarys for Visual Studio 2003 in the past and I never had any problems. But now with boost_1_33_1 for VC 8.0 I always get the following error in the Windows Shell(see build log):
 
C:\boost\boost_1_33_1>bjam.exe "-sBUILD=debug <runtime-link>dynamic <threading>m
ulti" "-sTOOLS=vc-8_0" -d+2 -d+4

skipping Boost.Python library build due to missing or incorrect configuration
 
couldn't find Python.h in "c:/Python24/include"
 
You can configure the location of your python installation by setting:
PYTHON_VERSION - The 2-part python Major.Minor version number (e.g.
                 "2.2", NOT "2.2.1")  - currently "2.4"
 
PYTHON_ROOT    - automatically configured from PYTHON_VERSION if not
                 otherwise set ; currently "c:/Python24"
 
The following are automatically configured from PYTHON_ROOT if not
otherwise set:
 
    PYTHON_LIB_PATH       - path to Python library object; currently
                            "c:/Python24/libs"

Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information
(and if you don't know what ICU is then you probably don't need it).

I had the same error under VS 8 after I deinstalled VS 2003. I could fix it adding some path variables. But building of the Boost librarys is still not possible. Can anybody help me to fix this error? :(
