Re: [boost] Re: Problem building bjam executable

I tried to find what's wrong (no I'm not using NT, I'm using XP) and didn't 
see anything obvious.
I added after:
echo ### Using '%BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET%' toolset.
the following lines
echo ### BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET_ROOT='%BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET_ROOT%'
echo ### BOOST_JAM_CC='%BOOST_JAM_CC%'
echo ### BOOST_JAM_OPT_JAM='%BOOST_JAM_OPT_JAM%'
echo ### BOOST_JAM_OPT_MKJAMBASE='%BOOST_JAM_OPT_MKJAMBASE%'
echo ### BOOST_JAM_OPT_YYACC='%BOOST_JAM_OPT_YYACC%'
echo ### _known_='_%_known_%_'

perhaps the additional output you get will help find the problem.
....this is what I get.....
C:\Projects\boost\tools\build\jam_src>build
Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 tools.
(If you have another version of Visual Studio or Visual C++ installed and wish
to use its tools from the command line, run vcvars32.bat for that version.)
