building boost libraries (boost::python, -test, -filesystem, -exception etc.)

gistfile1.bat

:: Opened  a cmd.exe prompt from Visual Studio Express (advantage environment is set accordingly)

my %userprofile%/user-config.jam file for the b2 build tool looks like:

# Boost.Python user configuration file.

# MSVC configuration
using msvc : 10.0 ;

# Python configuration
# First entry is default
# (Optional) to build with python 2.3, add python=2.3 to your command line
using python
          : 2.3 # version
          : C:/Python23
                        # cmd-or-prefix
          : C:/Python23/include
                        # includes

                        # libs
          : <toolset>msvc
                        # condition
          ;

# To build with python 2.6, add python=2.6 to your command line
