Hi,

I don't seem to be able to build a current cvs checkout of boost on a linux system on which I used to be able to build all the boost libraries by invoking 'bjam stage' on the cvs version of a couple of weeks ago. Did something change with respect to the build procedure?

Invoking bjam on a clean cvs checkout results in the following output:

~/boost> bjam Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled. Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information (and if you don't know what ICU is then you probably don't need it). ...found 3548 targets... ~/boost> bjam stage Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled. Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information (and if you don't know what ICU is then you probably don't need it). don't know how to make stage ...found 1 target... ...can't find 1 target...

Any idea what's going wrong here?

Are you sure you've got a full CVS image?

I also notices this strange behaviour about a week ago:( -- Serge

I am seeing the same behaviour under Windows/VC7.1 with a clean checkout. ----- C:\boost>bjam stage ****************************************************** Building Boost.Iostreams with bzip2 support disabled.

Yes, I am quite sure. I checked out the full cvs src tree via

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/boost co boost

I just did an update within this cvs image with

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/boost update -d

The build behavior is still as reported above, i.e. nothing is built when invoking bjam.

Should be fixed now; sorry for the inconvenience. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

Just in case someone have a simple answer:) I'm regulary update boost source tree with cvs -z3 -q update -P -d and still: bjam -sTOOLS=vc-7_1 --whithout-python install does not build any binary libraries:( It just copies the headers. This trouble is about a week or two old. I've missed something new in building instructions and do something wrong? TIA -- Serge
