Hello
I was trying to follow the instalation instructions in
boost/tools/build/v2/boost_build_v2.html#installation but using CVS
and have failed at step 2. when running "bjam --version". When running
from the build directory I get
C:\boost-sf\boost\tools\build\jam_src\bin.ntx86>bjam --version
Jamfile: No such file or directory
Jamfile: No such file or directory
...found 8 targets...
When I move the executable to a directory in path I still get
C:\boost-sf\boost\tools\build\jam_src>bjam.exe --version
Jamfile: No such file or directory
Jamfile: No such file or directory
...found 8 targets...
When I change a drive to d: I get
D:\>bjam.exe --version
Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find "boost-build.jam"
---------------------------------------------------------------
Attempted search from D:\ up to the root
Please consult the documentation at 'http://www.boost.org'.
Consulting the documentation says that the same procedure should work
for both CVS and release. So I downloaded milestone 9.1 and steps 1-4
are fine. Maybe there should be noted that you only get the expected
output when you run "bjam --version" in a v2 subdirectory? It is not
obvious that the build system directory has to be found even for such a
thing as displaying version information.
