[Boost-users] building regex (extracted with bcp)

I am trying to build the regex library which is extracted by the bcp  
utility.
What I did:
- extract the regex library
C:\Development\3rdParty\boost_1_33_1>bcp regex c:\development\temp\regex

- build it
C:\Development\temp\regex\libs\regex\build>bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-8_0"  
"-sPYTHON_ROOT=C:\Program Files\Python24" "-sPYTHON_VERSION=2.4"  
--libdir=C:\development\temp\boost80\lib\ --includedir=C:\development\temp\boost80\include\boost80  
--builddir=c:\development\temp\boost80\tmp install
Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find "boost-build.jam"
---------------------------------------------------------------
Attempted search from C:\Development\temp\regex\libs\regex\build up to the  
root

Please consult the documentation at 'http://www.boost.org'.

Now it looks like it needs several jam files in order to build. Are the  
make files only way to build the regex library extracted with bcp?
