Hi,
we used to compile boost regex in boost version 1.36 with the following command:
bjam.exe -sHAVE_ICU=1 -sICU_PATH=../../../../icu -sBOOST_REGEX_RECURSIVE
Is BOOST_REGEX_RECURSIVE supposed to be a preprocessor macros? Then, this syntax never worked.
toolset=msvc-7.1 threading=multi python-debugging=on link=shared variant=debug --without-mpi libs\regex\build
When switching to boost 1.38, we realized that BOOST_REGEX_RECURSIVE is not passed/picked up anymore when using the same command (apart compiler version to compile (verified with some added pragma messages):
How should this be configured nowadays?
See: http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/invocation.html for command line syntax description. If passing this on command line is not convenient, you can add this define to project requirements, see: http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/projects.html Not that user-config.jam is considered a special project, it can define requirements and all user project inherit these requirements. So, project user-config : <define>BOOST_REGEX_RECURSIVE=1 ; in user-config.jam will work. I do not know if such a board action is appropriate for you. - Volodya
