path of test-binary
Hi, how can I get the path where b2 placed the binaries of boost tests? Problem is the following: some of the tests need the path to a shared library, which is built together with the tests. in the lib/mylib/tests/Jamfile.v2 I have the following: [...] # our test lib for shared library tests lib test_library : test_library.cpp ; test-suite mylib : # # shared library # [ run shared_library_load_test.cpp ] [ run shared_library_get_symbol_test.cpp ] # # [...] Inside shared_library_*_test.cpp I need something like this: boost::filesystem::path tstlib("bin.v2/libs/mylib/test/mycompiler/test_library.so"); As boost.build decides by itself where to put the binary, i cannot hardcode the path in the source-files.. Is there a way to get the path from boost.build? If not, how could I solve this problem? -- regards dib

I think there might be a boost.build variable containing this path that you could add as a define for the source file. I'm new to boost.build, however, so I don't have a specific recipe to try. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://computergraphicsmuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!

Inside shared_library_*_test.cpp I need something like this: boost::filesystem::path tstlib("bin.v2/libs/mylib/test/mycompiler/test_library.so");

The run rule is declared as: rule run ( sources + : args * : input-files * : requirements * : target-name ? : default-build * ) You'll want to pass the target in input-files: run shared_library_load_test.cpp : : test_library ; This will add the path to test_library to the command line arguments when the test is run.
