I've tried to use bjam/b2 in a *different partition* from my modular boost at

I:\modular-boost

I've tried adding a boost-build.jam file containing

boost-build I:\modular-boost ;

in the root of partition J:  (containing my ‘standard’ boost project directory tree)

but I still get this failure (running any jamfile or just asking for b2 version)

J:\Cpp\fixed_point\doc>i:\modular-boost/b2.exe --version

Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find build system.

---------------------------------------------------------

J:\Cpp\boost-build.jam attempted to load the build system by invoking

   'boost-build i:/modular-boost/ ;'

but we were unable to find "bootstrap.jam" in the specified directory

or in BOOST_BUILD_PATH (searching i:/modular-boost).

What should I be doing?

(Or should I just always keep everything in the I:\modular-boost tree?  )

Thanks

Paul
