Hi!

I'm trying to extend my python program with some C++ code. Right now
I've spent hours just trying to get boost to work!

I'm trying to get the example hello.cpp to work.

Using Windows XP and Visual Studio 8   (.NET 2005)

I've set BOOST_BUILD_PATH = C:\boost\boost_1_33_1  (where i installed
boost)

I've changed the jamrules in C:\boost\boost_1_33_1\libs\python\example
\tutorial to

path-global BOOST_ROOT : C:\boost\boost_1_33_1 ;



No matter what I do i always get:

C:\boost\boost_1_33_1\libs\python\example\tutorial>bjam -sTOOLS=vc-8_0


Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find "boost-build.jam"
---------------------------------------------------------------
Attempted search from C:\boost\boost_1_33_1\libs\python\example
\tutorial up to t
he root and in these directories from BOOST_BUILD_PATH and BOOST_ROOT:
C:\boost\boost_1_
33_1.
Please consult the documentation at 'http://www.boost.org'.

Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?? Theres no tutorial
on how to make a boost-build.jam file.. and as I understand I don't
need one as long as I set BOOST_BUILD_PATH ..

Any help is apprecieated!!

Thanks!,
Soren
