change command used by bjam when installing boost

13 Nov 2009

      Hi,

I first install boost.build and bjam. Then I try to make the building boost library a little bit slower by adding some time to sleep between every two calls to g++. So I add this in /etc/site-config.jam

using gcc ; ; "sleep 10; g++" ;

However, when calling bjam to install, it gives this error:

    $ ./bjam install
    \/etc/site-config.jam:5: syntax error at keyword ;
    /etc/site-config.jam:5: in load
    rule sleep 10; g++ unknown in module pch.

    /tmp/boost_1_40_0/boost-build.jam:16: in module scope

Some advice how to solve this? Thanks and regards!
