How to run hello.cpp and Jamfile located in boost/libs/python/example/tutorial directory?

Question

I ran bootstrap.bat and also ran bjam from boost source directroy. However when I tried to run bjam from the above mentioned directory, I got the error message:

'bjam' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I tried copying the bjam to the directory and tried running but I got:

hello.cpp(7): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'boost/python/module.hpp': No such file or directory

Where am I making mistake?

Answer 1

It is a bug of Boost.Python. Please report it to Boost.

The problem is that there is Jamroot file inside of boost/libs/python/example directory. Try renaming it to Jamfile.
