Hi,

Did you mean that the desired jamfile is not even included in the Macports installation? Should I download the official boost distribution separately just for this problem?

Hi,

I have installed Boost 1.55 (+python33), boost-build and boost-jam through Macports on Mac OS X 10.9. Following the HOWTO (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0b1/libs/python/doc/building.html), I cd to /opt/local/share/doc/boost/libs/python/example/quickstart and typed in "bjam toolset=gcc --verbose-test test" and "bjam" and I got the following error message:

error: Unable to load Jamfile.

What was wrong?


These instructions are written assuming that
you are using the official Boost distribution
directly.  The Jamfile is looking for the
main Boost Jamfile which apparently doesn't
exist in your Macports installation.
