How to compile jam.exe with Visual Studio .NET (Win2000) where to download it?
I was trying to build boost-jam and boost-build executable with build.bat in Visual Studio .NET (Windows 2000) from downloaded sources. However, ended with single non-functional jam0.exe and truncated to zero length my own compiler cl.exe from Visual Studio .NET. Nmake coul'nt be used, because makefiles were not included. What is going on? How to compile or obtain needed boost-jam or boost-build executables under Windows2000? Or this BOOST is intended for UNIX only?

I can't guess that. You've only said that you had no luck, while to guess what the problem is more complete information is needed. Where did you get boost.jam sources. What did you did and what output you get?

You can try sourceforce download page. The page at http://www.boost.org/tools/build/index.html talks of in in rather large pink font ;-) The binaries should be enough to build Boost libraries. HTH, Volodya

If so, this is the second report we've had of jam modifying files that it wasn't supposed to. I can't imagine why it would do that, but maybe we can find out. Can you invoke the build script to invoke jam0 with the -d+2 -d+4 options and post the output so we can see what's going on? build.bat -d+2 -d+5 If you're afraid that will delete your compiler again, you can always add -n to prevent any build actions: build.bat -d+2 -d+5 -n I'd really appreciate having the info.
