Dear Sir,

I am using boost_1_57_0, I am not able to build example/hello.

$ bjam --debug-generators

     *** construct EXE
         from { hello.cpp.CPP }
         properties: <main-target-type>EXE
     find-viable-generators target-type= EXE property-set=
     trying type EXE
     there are generators for this type
     trying generator unix.link ( LIB OBJ -> EXE )
     trying generator gcc.link ( LIB OBJ -> EXE )
     ***  0  viable generators
warn: Unable to construct ./hello
find-viable-generators target-type= EXE property-set=
trying type EXE
there are generators for this type
trying generator unix.link ( LIB OBJ -> EXE )
trying generator gcc.link ( LIB OBJ -> EXE )
error: no generators were found for type 'EXE'
error: and the requested properties
error: make sure you've configured the needed tools
See http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/configuration.html
To debug this problem, try the --debug-generators option.

I heard this was a bug [1] that was resolved in version 1.54, but I face
the same problem even in version 1.57.
I am a new user, having trying this for few days, no clue.
Please advise of how to troubleshoot, thanks.
