Hi Pankaj,

Boost.Build questions are usually best posed in

Well, you can add the following to your Jamfile:

  stage bin
    : <dll>hello
    : 
    : release
    ;

and you'll get a copy of hello.so in bin/hello.so

If you want to build your own example from outside the Boost tree,
you'll need to use a Jamfile formula more like the one in
home/boost/libs/python/example/Jamfile.

I'm pretty sure you couldn't have copied that error message
accurately.  The triples of dots give it away:

  .../.../allyourbase
  ^^^ ^^^

and also the fact that there is no rule named root-path (it's
"root-paths").  Could you please copy/paste the exact error message?

Pankaj, please see

the parts beginning, "Please prune extraneous quoted text..." and "When
starting a new topic, always send a fresh message..."
