Hi,

I want to build from the sandbox a library I'm doing using for example the truck (SVN) release.

My directory is
~
    SVN
        boost
        libs
        tools
        ...
    boost
        sandbox
            my_lib
                boost
                    my_lib
                libs
                    my_lib
                        test
            
When I build I get

$ cd boost/sandbox/my_lib/libs/my_lib/test

~/boost/sandbox/my_lib/libs/my_lib/test
$ bjam
Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find build system.
---------------------------------------------------------
C:\cygwin\home\Vicente\boost\sandbox\boost-build.jam attempted to load the build
 system by invoking

   'boost-build C:\cygwin\home\Vicente\boost\sandbox/tools/build/v2 ;'

but we were unable to find "bootstrap.jam" in the specified directory
or in BOOST_BUILD_PATH (searching C:\cygwin\home\Vicente\boost\sandbox/tools/bui
ld/v2, /home/Vicente/SVN).

Please consult the documentation at 'http://www.boost.org'.

$ ls /home/Vicente/SVN/tools/build/v2/boots*
/home/Vicente/SVN/tools/build/v2/bootstrap.jam

$ env | grep BOOST
BOOST_ROOT=/home/Vicente/SVN

Can someone help me?

Thanks,
   
Vicente
