Hi,
I am trying to build boost under windows 7. I did the following steps:
- Download the boost zip file from http://www.boost.org/users/download and unpack it somewhere.
- Download the bjam executable from http://www.boost.org/users/download and unpack it somewhere else.
- Download Boost.Build (v2) from http://www.boost.org/docs/tools/build/index.html and unpack it yet somewhere else.
- Edit the file
boost-build.jam
in the main boost directory to change the BOOST_BUILD
directory to the place where you put Boost.Build (use UNIX / instead of Windows \ in pathnames). - Copy the
bjam.exe
executable into the main boost directory. Now if you issue "bjam --version"
you should get a version and no errors. Issueing "bjam --show-libraries"
will show the libraries that will be built.
I get the version correct with no errors, but when I try "bjam --show-libraries", I get the following error:
configure.jam: No such file or directory and I can not go any further. I could not figure out what is wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks
alot.
