[Boost-users] Re: Where is the jam_src Makefile?

Hi,

I am trying to compile a bjam executable from scratch (under Linux). In the file:

boost_1_31_0/tools/build/jam_src/README

it says:

The Makefile (UNIX, NT), build.com (VMS), Build.mpw (Mac MPW) are for bootstrapping. Once jam is built, it can rebuild itself.

But I can't find the Makefile anywhere! It is not in that directory, and I can't find it anywhere else?

Am I blind, or is it missing?

It's missing. Take a look at index.html for *real* build instructions. I think we need to remove at least part of README, or the entire file. - Volodya
