I successfully was building Boost.Python extensions using bjam version 1 in Boost 1.33.1.  Since the upgrade, I converted my Jamfile to Jamfile.v2 and am getting the following errors when I try to build:

bjam -sTOOLS=vc-8_0 -sBOOST_ROOT=C:\3rdparty\boost_1_34_0 -sBUILD=debug

error: Could not find parent for project at '.'

error: Did not find Jamfile or project-root.jam in any parent directory.

Here’s my Jamfile:

# This is the top of our own project tree

project-root ;

import python ;

extension MyLib  # Declare a Python extension

:   MyLib.cpp                    # source

    # requirements and dependencies for Boost.Python extensions

    <template>@boost/libs/python/build/extension

    ## Requirements ##

    : <include>$(MyDir)/Include

      <define>_ATL_DLL <define>_AFXDLL

      <define>_UNICODE <define>UNICODE

      <runtime-link>dynamic

    ;

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

Here’s my Jamrules:

path-global BOOST_ROOT : C:/3rdparty/boost_1_34_0 ;

project boost : $(BOOST_ROOT) ;

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

Any idea how to correct this?

Thanks in advance,

Lawrence
