Binaries of bjam are released separately.  You can actually download a
binary of bjam for nt at the bottom of the Sourceforge download page here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586

Also get the latest version (1.31.0) of boost as it has an easier install
stage.

The command-line should be:
bjam "-sTOOLS=msvc"  "-sMSVC_ROOT=D:\Progra~1\Micros~1"

You can avoid all that if you execute vcvars32.bat and then do:
bjam "-sTOOLS=msvc"

That should si

(I've been using MS Outlook for years and I still don't like the way it
handles quoting like this!)

Please pardon the newbieness, these are probably elmentary questions.

It turns out the copy of Boost I have didn't have a bjam.exe (I don't know
why) so I had to puzzle out how to build that (bad path, etc.)  Now trying
to figure out how to get Boost to build - done sort of.  I don't see how
this is going to examine the conflicts with the subset of RogueWave being
used by the third party SDK.  According to the results from the command
"bjam" being executed in the D:\boost-1.30.2 directory:
 - failed updating 660 targets
 - skipped 234 targets
 - updated 260 targets (the actual number has scrolled off screen...)

Looking back through the screens, there seem to be CALL "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft\Visual Studio...",
well that isn't right, it lives on D:, not C:.  An earlier email suggested
an S setting, so I tried:
bjam "VC6_ROOT=D:\Progra~1\Micros~1" and it complains about not having
Python (well, it hasn't been installed, we don't need it for this project,
though it seems to be very popular) and then it complains about not knowning
how to make VC6_ROOT=D:\same stuff.  
  ...found 1 target
  ...can't find 1 target

and it quits.
