    <p>I'm trying to build the boost libraries as part of an open-source project I want to try to work on.</p> <pre><code>C:\boost_1_55_0&gt;bootstrap.bat gcc Building Boost.Build engine Bootstrapping is done. To build, run: .\b2 [snip] C:\boost_1_55_0&gt;b2.exe --toolset=gcc Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find "boost-build.jam" --------------------------------------------------------------- BOOST_ROOT must be set, either in the environment, or on the command-line with -sBOOST_ROOT=..., to the root of the boost installation.

I've tried different permutations of back and forward slashes. Also, the error message from <code>b2</code> includes the path <code>C:/share/boost-build</code>, which I have <strong>no</strong> idea where it's coming from. I've done a full search on the entire codebase, and can't see a config file which may be specifying it anywhere.</p> <hr> <p>So I may need Boost.Build?</p> <p>Anyways, following the instructions from <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#install-boost-build" rel="nofollow">here</a> to build Boost.Build produces the exact same issue:</p> <pre><code>C:\boost_1_55_0\tools\build\v2&gt;echo %BOOST_ROOT% C:/boost_1_55_0 C:\boost_1_55_0\tools\build\v2&gt;bootstrap.bat gcc Bootstrapping the build engine Bootstrapping is done.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
