[Boost-build] Boost.jam issue

Subject: [Boost-build] Boost.jam issue
From: Reynolds, John (John.Reynolds_at_[hidden])

In my experimentation with boost build I have an issue using contrib\boost.jam

import boost ;

boost.use-project 1.35 ;

exe app : app.cpp /boost /tools/crypto//md5 : <library>/boost//program_options  ;

With /boost setup in user-config.jam

I am getting the following error [ note the lib in front of the lib ]

fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_program_options-vc80-mt-1_35.lib'

Any ideas how to get around this.

Output below

warning: skipping optional Message Passing Interface (MPI) library.
note: to enable MPI support, add "using mpi ;" to user-config.jam.
note: to suppress this message, pass "--without-mpi" to bjam.
note: otherwise, you can safely ignore this message.
Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled.
Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information
(don't panic: this is a strictly optional feature).
