Hi,

I'm just doing my first steps with jam, but have no success. I downloaded jam binaries for windows from the boost page and extracted them to a folder. Then I set the following environment variables :

BOOST_BUILD_INSTALLATION=J:\boost-build INTELC="D:\Program Files\IntelC++\compiler50\ia32" VISUALC="D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98" JAM_TOOLSET=INTELC

then I write the following simple Jamfile :

project-root ; exe MyTestExe : first.cpp second.cpp some_more.cpp ;

Executing Jam without parameters I get :

Compiler is Intel C/C++ warning: unknown rule project-root warning: unknown rule exe ...found 7 targets...

As far as I understand this means that jam does not know what to do with 'project-root' and 'exe'. I think jam should find the required files via BOOST_BUILD_INSTALLATION !?

could somebody give me a hint in the right direction

greetings Achim
