=========
Installation...step 2.
>>Place the Boost.Jam binary, called "bjam" or "bjam.exe", somewhere in your PATH. Verify that correct bjam is being executed by running "bjam --version". You should get
Boost.Build V2 (Milestone N)
not what I get. bjam starts running and complains about syntax errors... even when I get it building boost (V1 by default) it never gives me a version.
============
Installation---step 3
>>Configure toolsets to use. Open new/user-config.jam file and follow instructions there to specify what compiles/libraries you have and where they are located.
I'm not sure what "instructions" are being referred to here..but I un commented the line saying:
using msvc;

Was I supposed to copy more of the files someplace??

See also
http://boost.sourceforge.net/boost-build2/
for online docs (a copy is included in distribution). Changes in this release are:
- Segfault on use of RMOLD builtin fixed. - The gcc toolset handles <threading>multi now. - A bug which blocked update of certain targets was fixed. - BoostBook support was improved. - Boost.Build bootstrapping was improved. - A bug which caused wrong suffix to be used when linking to prebuilt targets was fixed. - A bug which prevented free features, like "define" from being specified in user-defined build variants was fixed. - Detection of loops in main target references was added. - Bug with ":" symbol in properties was fixed. - Bug which caused inline targets to be confused with top-level ones of the same name was fixed.
Since some bugs are important, all users are advised to upgrade.
