building boost libraries

Hello

Im trying to build LUAbind which needs boost library and can be built using bjam.

The documentation says:

Set the following environmental variables:
BOOST_ROOT - path where boost 1.32 is installed
LUA_PATH - where lua 5 is installed (and built)

How do I set those environmental variables?
I always have problems with building libraries..

Thanks for help

One way (on a Windows XP machine) is: Right click on My Computer->Properties->Advanced tab->Environment Variables->New then type in the data there.

What if I want to compile it from comand prompt using bjam? Like boost libraries?

The same way?

something like this

Code:

---

set BOOST_ROOT=C:\path\to\boost
set LUA_PATH=C:\path\to\lua
bjam
