building regex (extracted with bcp)
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? -- Orhun Birsoy

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.

bcp only extracts sources by default (Boost.Build is quite large in itself). You can get all of Boost.Build as well by specifying "build" as the name of one of the modules to copy: bcp regex build destination-path However it still doesn't copy the couple of files needed in the root directory (just copy manually everything beginning with a J !), which is a bug I will fix.
