Hi there,

I'm toying around with some 3rd party libs jam files from the sandbox.
See here:

http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/tools/build_extensions

When I try to build zlib with this jam file:

using zlib : 1.2.5 : C:/chhenning/zlib/zlib-1.2.5 ;

import stage ;

install stage
    : /ext/zlib//z
    : <location>c:/chhenning/lib <install-dependencies>on <install-type>LIB
    ;

I get the following error:
