hi,

i d/l'ed the 1_27_0 and have successfully built the jam executable. i
went through the documentation for build but am still unclear as to
the location from where jam should be run. do i just copy jam into
the top level directory where the files were extracted to and run it
from there after setting BOOST_ROOT?

some posts in this list conveyed the impression that it should be run
from within the source library for each library. i find that
confusing. isn't it the intent(?) of jam to be able to build the code
wherever it may be located provided that the appropriate entry has
been made into BOOST_BUILD_PATH/BOOST_ROOT? 

i apologize since this post is probably somewhat off-topic.

sincerely,
abhishek.
