{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"How to relocate the example project?","articleBody":"Hello! \nI've managed to build the example project but needed to relocate it to my project's folder. The documentation doesn't really reflect the current state of the code and I'm a bit lost when updating the jamfile to match this new folder. \n\nReading the [currently available documentation](https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_87_0/libs/python/doc/html/building/no_install_quickstart.html#building.no_install_quickstart.modifying_the_example_project.relocate_the_project) it suggests changing some lines in the jamfile that point to the boost source folder, however as of boost 1.82.0 these lines don't exist in the jamfile anymore. In the docs we have\n\n\u003e change the first path in boost-build.jam from\n\u003e ../../../../tools/build/src\n\u003e to\n\u003e /home/dave/boost_1_34_0/tools/build/src\n\u003e \n\u003e and change the first path in Jamroot from\n\u003e ../../../..\n\u003e to\n\u003e /home/dave/boost_1_34_0\n\nhowever the current jamfile looks like this\n```\nimport python ;\n\nproject tutorial\n : requirements\n \u003clocation\u003e.\n ;\n\npython-extension hello_ext : hello.cpp ;\n\nrun-test hello : hello_ext hello.py ;\n\nalias test : hello ;\nexplicit test ;\n```\nwhich results in an error when building,\n`ERROR: rule \"run-test\" unknown in module \"Jamfile\u003c/home/userfolder/projectfolder\u003e\"`\nwhich I imagine stems from this misconfiguration as it builds fine in the original folder. I am not familiar enough with the jam build system and would appreciate some directions here.\nThanks in advance!","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Sowee0","@type":"Person","name":"Sowee0"},"datePublished":"2025-03-19T14:44:17.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/477/python/issues/477"}
