Ok, I've gotten so far as to try out the installation.

http://boost.sourceforge.net/boost-build2/boost_build_v2.html#installation

I took the newest code from the cvs. I configured
BOOST_BUILD_PATH as BOOST_ROOT/tools/build/v2 and without v2 too. I didn't work :-(

When I try to build the example I get this:

syntax error at EOF
warning: no toolsets are configured.
warning: you won't be able to build C++ programs.
warning: please consult the documentation.

e:/C++/libraries/boost/tools/build/v2/build\targets.jam:1143: in construct from module object(exe-target-class)@1
error: unable to construct ./hello
[lots more]

I have edited v2/user-config by uncommenting lines with gcc and msvc.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
