Building HadesMem - Rev. 916

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm trying to build HadesMem against boost_1_45_0, this is my first time trying 
to use the Boost.Build system and the log file outputs the following. Any help 
would be appreciated. Thanks.

Notice: No Python configured in user-config.jam. Will use default configuration.
error: Unable to find file or target named
error:     '/boost//filesystem'
error: referred from project at
error:     'Src/Memory'

You need to instruct Boost.Build where to find various tools/libraries/etc. 
Currently the HadesMem library depends on Boost, the scripting bindings depend 
on Boost and Python, and the documentation depends on Boost.Quickbook and a few 
of its dependencies (see the Quickbook documetnation for where to download and 
install those).

In order to do this, you simply add these tools/libraries to your 
'user-config.jam' or 'site-config.jam' files. Consult the Boost.Build 
doucmentation for detailed information on these files (in the PDF it will be 
under Overview > Configuration).

For example, here is my user-config.jam file (which I store at "C:\Users\Josh", 
which is my profile directory). I've delimited it using "#####" so it's obvious 
what's part of the file:

#####
use-project /boost 
  : "C:/Users/Josh/Documents/Boost" 
  ;

using python 
  : 2.7 
  : "C:/Python27" 
  : 
  : 
  : <address-model>32 
  ;

using python 
  : 2.7 
  : "C:/Python27_64" 
  : 
  : 
  : <address-model>64 
  ;

using python 
  : 3.1 
  : "C:/Python31" 
  : 
  : 
  : <address-model>32 
  ;

using python 
  : 3.1 
  : "C:/Python31_64" 
  : 
  : 
  : <address-model>64 
  ;

using xsltproc 
  : "C:/Users/Josh/Documents/Boost-XML/bin/xsltproc.exe" 
  ;

using boostbook 
  : "C:/Users/Josh/Documents/Boost-XML/docbook-xsl" 
  : "C:/Users/Josh/Documents/Boost-XML/docbook-xml" 
  ;

using quickbook 
  : "C:/Users/Josh/Documents/Boost-XML/bin/quickbook.exe" 
  ;
#####

P.S. Sorry there is no documentation currently describing this process, I know 
it's difficult to set up if you're new to Boost.Build. Documentation is on the 
high priority list, it's just taking a while to get going.

What does your user-config.jam look like?

any ideas how to solve the problem?

The solution is the same one that I gave in response to the original person 
with that problem.

You have not set the location of boost in your user-config.jam. You need to 
have a user-config.jam in your user directory, and it needs to contain the 
correct directives for the build system to locate Boost (and if appliciable, 
also Python and the Quickbook/Boostbook tools).

I understand this process is a bit difficult and confusing. It should hopefully 
be a bit better when I finish v2. For now however you do need to use a 
user-config or a site-config file.
