So, I downloaded boost_1_53_0, and ran bjam. After linking the "libraries" and the "includes" as per the preamble, I ran my Visual C++ solution and i get the following error

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'boost_python-vc100-mt-gd-1_53.lib'

I read some solutions about executing bjam --build-type=complete --toolset=gcc stage, but it seems my command prompt cannot recognize bjam, even though I added the PATH to the system variables as,

Variable name: bjam    
Variable Value: D:\boost_1_53_0\

But I still cannot get bjam running in command prompt! Thanks

If you put `b2` istead of `bjam`, does it help? – Igor R. Apr 25 '13 at 08:24
By the way, why `--toolset=gcc`? Don't you want to build boost with MSVC? – Igor R. Apr 25 '13 at 08:25
also b2 is not recognized, I'm not sure about --toolset=gcc, I found it in one of the solutions – IssamLaradji Apr 25 '13 at 08:47
You should run `bootstrap` first. Please refer to "Getting started" article: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/more/getting_started/windows.html – Igor R. Apr 25 '13 at 09:24
Why are you trying to compile boost with gcc if you want to use it with Visual Studio? – drescherjm Apr 25 '13 at 17:07
