Set your PATH variable to include the location of jam or invoke it with an explicit path from the boost-root directory.
c:\boost_1_27_0\boost-build\jam -sBOOST_ROOT=. -sTOOLS="msvc"
Hi, I'm new to using Boost. I've been trying to build Boost using Jam on Windows 2000. My compiler is MSVC6 SP5. As the documentation (www.boost.org/tools/build/index.html) says, I went to my Boost root
jam -sBOOST_ROOT=. -sTOOLS="msvc"
and I get the message:
'jam' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program, or batch file
OK, fine, jam.exe is in C:\boost_1_27_0\boost-build; that's just where I
downloaded it to. I've tried to run Jam from the boost-build directory, but I get the message:
Jamfile: No such file or directory ...found 8 targets...
This doesn't seem very straightforward. What do I need to do here so that
I can build Boost?
