My problem has been that I've been unable to build the python-examples. Somehow, jam has not been able to work out the different variables on my system, so this is what I did:

 

* I used the meny-item "Visual Studio .NET Command Prompt" (runs vsvars32.bat; important variable-"fixes")

* I downloaded the latest version from cvs

* I copied the vc7-directory to the root, "C:\Vc7" ie. no spaces in path!

* I use these variables: PYTHON_ROOT, PYTHON_VERSION, VC7_ROOT (undocumented I think)

* As a tool I use the undocumented vc7: -sTOOLS="vc7"

 

Any undocumented info is from David Abrahams.

 

One of the crucial "bugs" here is related to jam's improper handling of spaces in paths, methinks...

 

Cheers,
