Hello all.  Quick question on boost-jam, because I couldn’t get it work right on my system.  When I went into the $BOOST_ROOT_DIR\libs\python\example\tutorial directory and build as follows:

bjam –sTOOLS=vc-7_1

It built with no problems.

I then took the tutorial example and moved it outside the boost tree.  I edited the Jamrules so that:

 path-global BOOST_ROOT : ../../../.. ;

became:

 path-global BOOST_ROOT : $(BOOST_ROOT_DIR) ;

and left all else the same.  However when I built, it complained that it couldn’t find boost-build.jam.

Any ideas what might be missing/not set up right, or if I missed a step?

Thanks so much,

Lawrence
