Hi Jurko,

I'm having problems on Windows:

Let BOOST_ROOT=e:\src\devel\boost

my user-config.jam states:

local BOOST_ROOT = [ os.environ BOOST_ROOT ] ;
BOOST_ROOT ?= "e:/src/devel/boost" ;
use-project /boost : $(BOOST_ROOT) ;

And then I try to compile boost and get:

e:\src\devel\boost>b2 gcc
error: at E:\src\devel\boost\Jamroot:158
error: Attempt to redeclare already registered project id '/boost'.
error: Original project:
error:     Name: Jamfile</e:/src/devel/boost>
error:     Main id: /boost
error:     File: E:\src\devel\boost\Jamroot
error:     Location: /E:/src/devel/boost
error: New project:
error:     File: E:\src\devel\boost\Jamroot
error:     Location: /E:/src/devel/boost

I'm using this setup for a long time and the same setting (with another 
default path, of course) continues to work on my Linux machine.

Any ideas?

Yours,

Jürgen
