Re: [Boost-install] compiling bjam.exe Newby

hi,

Please take this question to the jamboost list (jamboost_at_[hidden]).

1. Which version of the bjam sources are you using?
2. I believe VISUALC should be set one directory higher, to your VC98
directory.
3. You may have better luck if you run

c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin\vcvars32.bat

before trying to build.

4. We do have prebuilt executables available: www.boost.org/tools/build

HTH,
Dave
