I am trying to build the regex library which is extracted by the bcp utility. What I did: - extract the regex library C:\Development\3rdParty\boost_1_33_1>bcp regex c:\development\temp\regex
- build it C:\Development\temp\regex\libs\regex\build>bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-8_0" "-sPYTHON_ROOT=C:\Program Files\Python24" "-sPYTHON_VERSION=2.4" --libdir=C:\development\temp\boost80\lib\ --includedir=C:\development\temp\boost80\include\boost80 --builddir=c:\development\temp\boost80\tmp install Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find "boost-build.jam" --------------------------------------------------------------- Attempted search from C:\Development\temp\regex\libs\regex\build up to the root
Please consult the documentation at 'http://www.boost.org'.
Now it looks like it needs several jam files in order to build. Are the make files only way to build the regex library extracted with bcp?
Just add a file called boost-build.jam somewhere in or above the directory where you're invoking bjam, containing boost-build path/to/boost/tools/build/v1 ; where path/to/boost/tools/build/v1 is a path indicating a copy of the tools/build/v1 subdirectory of the full boost tree.
