Hi
I am new to Boost.Python and am trying to build its library using Visual C++
2008 on Windows XP.
I have downloaded and unzipped boost_1_43_0.zip and I have installed
boost-jam-3.1.18-1-ntx86.zip.
Next, I executed:
C:\boost_1_43_0\libs\python\example\quickstart>\boost-jam-3.1.18-1-ntx86\bjam
toolset=msvc --verbose-test test
The output I get is:
==================================================================

==================================================================
I am surprised at the mention of Visual Studio 10.0 because I only have Visual
Studio 2008 and Visual C++ 2008 Express installed.
Please will anyone suggest what is wrong?
Would it be better for me to use the pre-built binaries provided by Boost
Consulting?
Best regards
David
