RE: [Boost-users] Bjam and cygwin
Just for other peoples information (these mails show up in an searchable online archive somewhere afterall afaik), I fixed this problem by setting the path 'in a windows' way, rather than a unix way, even though I was building from the cygwin shell. That means ... bjam "-sTOOLS=GCC" "--target=/usr/local" install Becomes ... bjam "-sTOOLS=GCC" "--target=c:\cygwin\usr\local" install That's from memory, so excuse any slight inacuracies in the syntax there. It does get rid of the <directory-guist> weirdness. Hope this helps somebody somewhere.

"<directory-grist>" I have set the install to use GCC and install to /usr. I also tried with /usr/local. I read that it might be a windows/unix line break thing, but I tried the zip file, bz2 and normal tarball, extracting with the windows gui tools and the cygwin cli tools. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

Hello all,
I am trying to find some source code that uses spirit to parse C++ and convert it to HTML, i found some on google, but i misplaced it and i can't find it again. It looked like it could have been an example provided with the library, but i can't see it listed in the documentation.
On a side note, anyone know the best way to use boost with cygwin? From source? Is there even another way?

That's surely because you're using a bjam that was built for windows, not for Cygwin. If you rebuild bjam under Cygwin I think you'll see that Cygwin paths work. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
