Hi, all I'm trying to build boost 1.35 within a RedHat x86-84 box. The gcc version information is here: $ gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.5/specs Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-java-awt=gtk --host=x86_64-redhat-linux Thread model: posix gcc version 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2) $gcc --version gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2) Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

While building bjam by invoking $BOOST_ROOT/tools/jam/build_dist.sh, I got error messages as following: ./bootstrap/jam0 -f build.jam --toolset=gcc --toolset-root= clean ...found 1 target... ...updating 1 target... ...updated 1 target... ./bootstrap/jam0 -f build.jam --toolset=gcc --toolset-root= ...found 47 targets... ...updating 2 targets... [MKDIR] :bin.linuxx86_64 <--- *NOTICE THIS LINE* [COMPILE] :bin.linuxx86_64/bjam filemac.c:115:5: warning: C++ style comments are not allowed in ISO C90 filemac.c:115:5: warning: (this will be reported only once per input file) /tmp/ccjqZ5Qv.o(.text+0x903): In function `var_expand': : undefined reference to `path_parse' /tmp/ccjqZ5Qv.o(.text+0x9ee): In function `var_expand': : undefined reference to `path_build' /tmp/ccjqZ5Qv.o(.text+0xa1d): In function `var_expand': : undefined reference to `path_parent' [...] You see, the bin directory name is ":bin.linuxx86_64" rather than "bin.linuxx86_64". Weird? I've build boost 1.35 successfully under cygwin, and the bin directory name is exactly "bin.cygwinx86". I think it is this wrong directory name that causes following linkage errors. Is it a bug or I missed something obvious in the documentation? Any suggestion is appreciated! -- Cheers Cheng
