As far as I'm aware I'm using pretty much a default ubuntu installation with gcc 4.1.2.
After compiling bjam from sources, using thesehttp://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/jam/building.htmlinstructions, and running the tests, I get the following failures:
root@---------:/usr/local/src/boost/tools/jam/test# sh test.sh
--- Testing SHELL builtin... --- Testing W32_GETREGNAMES builtin... --- Testing var expansion... --- Testing var on target semantics... --- Testing var expansion... var_expand.jam:14: error: [FAILED] (==) '' var_expand.jam:17: error: [FAILED] (==) '' --- Complete: PASSED(21) *FAILED(2)*
I see this too. Rene, var_expand.jam is written by you. Do you have a chance to look at this failure?
The output from the compilation is below (it seems to work, even with the lists of warnings):
root@hallah:/usr/local/src/boost/tools/jam# cd src | sh ./build_dist.sh
../../../Jamfile.v2:335: in load-aux rule path.glob-tree unknown in module Jamfile.
I don't get those errors. Do you have up-to-date tree? Is this CVS HEAD or RC_1_34_0? Do you have any other version of Boost.Build? Like a version installed from Ubuntu package somewhere in /usr/share/boost-build? You mention you get the same message when building other boost libraries, can you add --debug-configuration to bjam options when building any library and send the output? - Volodya
