This question belongs in the Boost.Build list, so I'm redirecting followups there.

Not that it matters; this won't hurt you. > 3 Configure tools and parameters > - <root of boost>/bjam "-sGCC_ROOT_DIRECTORY=/usr" Our instructions must not be very clear. That doesn't "configure tools and parameters." If you happen to have a bjam executable at the root of boost, it would build all of boost. But according to what you've told us so far, you don't have a bjam there, so I'm confused. > - <root of boost>/export PYTHON_ROOT=/usr Did that work? Do you have an executable called "export" at the root of boost? > - <root of boost>/export PYTHON_VERSION=2.3 Same question. I think what you meant to do would have been something like export GCC_ROOT_DIRECTORY=/usr export PYTHON_ROOT=/usr export PYTHON_VERSION=2.3 > 4 Build and install Boost libraries > - <root of boost>/bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" install That step is not required. What instructions are you following? > 5 Set build path for Boost.Build > - export BOOST_BUILD_PATH > /home/hnn/boost/tools/build/v2 Whoa there. You have been using a mixture of v1 idioms up 'till now, now you're using v2. Is that intentional? That step is also not required. > 6 Configure user-config.jam at <root of > boost>/tools/build/v2/ > - Change the content of file user-config.jam to: > import toolset : using ; > using gcc; > - <root of boost>/bjam install Another v2 idiom. This repeats the effect of step 4, but using v2 this time. > 7 Build "hello" example with bjam > - go to <root of boost>/tools/build/v2/example/hello, > then run > bjam --v2 > - get the error listed above Normally the user-config.jam file should be found in your home directory. > My questions are: > 1 Are there some problems in those steps? > > 2 In step2, I get only one file bjam after builing > boost.bjam.

I don't know the answers to these; I'll leave that to others. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
