I think the error is due to the fact that you did not compile
"variables_map.cpp". Probably, it would be more convenient to
add test2.cpp to "examples" directory, tweak the Jamfile and
build test2 using bjam? At least, all the provided examples build
okay.

Agreed. In fact, I was thinking that some kind of automated tests for
examples would be good, too.
