Boost-Build :

Hi everyone,

This is my first day spent learning how to use bjam, so forgive the
naivity of this (and subsequent) questions.

I have just read through The V2
<http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/index.html> User's Manual and
after trying out the various example projects from the v2\example tree,
I have this question:

When building the libraries project under v2\example, the build
succeeds. However, I do not understand why since I do not have borland
or gcc installed on my machine. Clearly, a default is specified
somewhere somehow. Could someone explain how I control what defaults are
used?

I have quite a few other questions concerning configuring a compiler
(specifically the compiler (vc7.1) distributed with the Windows DDK).
But I'll wait until I learn more about the basics and RTFM 100,000 more
times. [:-)

Cheers,

Michael
