1) somehow I&#39;ve misconfigured my build environment<br>
2) a more general problem with the latest version of boost build in svn<br>
<br>
I&#39;ve just run svn update for the first time in some time. Everything worked just fine until I did this. Now when I run<br>
<br>
bjam -q<br>
<br>
in boost-trunk\libs\python\example, I get the following error:<br>
<br>
&lt;successful compilation deleted&gt;<br>

<br>
Can anyone else confirm whether this works for them? I&#39;m on Windows with msvc 8.0 express.<br>
<br>
Why would it be trying to link with a file with this strange name<br>
l/msvc-8.0express/debug/threading-multi&gt;python25.obj<br>
anyway?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
John.<br>
