Hi,

I am hardly a Boost.Build expert but I believe I can provide some help for
this issue.

it cannot find the location of the Boost.Build system files.

If you copy the "project-root.jam" file from the root directory of your
1.34.1 boost tree and modify the path to point to the location that you
took this file from I believe it should fix your issue.

If this doesn't help you might need to ask for help on the Boost Build list.
