[C++-sig] "cannot open input file 'boost_python.lib'" when building

[Dylan Scott]

Hello

I'm fairly new to boost, and I am attempting to follow the tutorial here:
https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_58_0/libs/python/doc/building.html .
I believe I have followed all of the steps exactly. and I think I have
configured my jamfile, user-config.jam, and jamroot files all correctly. No
matter what I try to build, I always get an error saying "cannot open input
file 'boost_python.lib". I have been trying to figure this out for probably
a week now with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
