[Boost-users] Building Python.Boost 2 with VC

Hi all,

I'm having problems building Boost.Python with VC 2003.

I'm reading the howto, but I must be missing something.

My Python 2.4 is installed in C:\Python (using official Windows installer)

My user-config.jam looks like this:

import toolset : using ;
using msvc : 7.1 ;
using python : 2.4 : C:\\Python ;

(I have tried C:\Python and C:/Python, no luck)

When I run bjam:
tools\bjam.exe --with-python

I get the following error:

WARNING: No python installation configured and autoconfiguration
         failed.  See http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/building.html
         for configuration instructions or pass --without-python to
         suppress this message and silently skip all Boost.Python targets
warning: Python location is not configured
warning: the Boost.Python library won't be built
...found 1 target...

user-config.jam is begin read, because bjam reports errors in it.

What am I missing?

Thank you,
