To me, it seems more like the Tetris game, but this connotation stuff is so tricky. Anyway, I've just forged anoher idea. Not that I like it much, but the idea is a little different and might please some --sort of ++ breaking the barrier of sound or something. BTW, I cannot edit the Boost Wiki, my usr or ip is blocked (??) I think it's gotta do with the fact I'm behind a corporate proxy. So, if some kind soul could upload this stuff for me I'd be eternally grateful. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

Compile problem with como-win32
by Brian Riis 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

Given: C:\src\workspace\boost>bjam "-sTOOLS=como-win32" "-sCOMO_BACKEND=dig" "-sCOMO_BACKEND_PATH=c:\dm" --with-python-root=c:\python24 stage I'd expect the build-process to start, using Digital Mars as backend. Boost.Jam tries to call c:\dm\..\Common7\Tools\vsvars32 and set COMO_MS_INCLUDE to c:\dm\include. Clearly it somehow thinks that it should setup for a VC7 backend, although it *does* correctly issue "como --dig ..." to compile. What's happening? -- /Brian Riis

Please find attached a variaton of that based on my proposal --admittedly not as simple, but well, I though I'd drop it here to know people's opinions.

Alternate Logo Design

Incidentally, my quick take on the ones I was able to view: the rocket ones were mostly really well done, but mostly way over-busy, as well. There was one that was sufficiently close to mine that they could likely be combined; might try that tonight. The Text ones were okay, but lifeless. The square braces didn't work for me, mostly, save for perhaps the one that formed a split-C (and someone had to point that out to me before I realized that was what it was). Reid

Logo... and page design.
by Rene Rivera 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

Boosters, OK, I put together a new logo. I'm not going to say much about it because if I do it will likely skew perceptions. I will say that it comes in a variety of forms to accommodate the context: http://redshift-software.com/~grafik/boost/logo.htm Boost Logo And more changes to the front page: http://redshift-software.com/~grafik/boost/index.htm Boost C++ Libraries PS.. It looks like the logo page requires a conforming CSS1 browser :-\ So please use something other than IE ;-) -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com - 102708583/icq

explicit-failures-markup question
by Bart 27 Nov '04

27 Nov '04

I see that wild-cards are supported for toolset names in explicit-failures-markup.xml. Are they also supported for test names? We have a series of tests that have similar names (testtime_serialize, testtime_serialize_xml, testtime_serialize_std_config). I'd like to use a wild-card to markup all three tests (testtime_serialize*). Will it work? Thanks, Bart

how to compile giallo?
by Roland Schwarz 27 Nov '04

27 Nov '04

I just wanted to study the giallo aka. boost_net library. Unfortunately so far I cannot manage to compile the lib. I checked out the sources from CVS. I am running W2K with vc-7_1. I set BOOST_ROOT, and invoked bjam -s"TOOLS=vc-7_1" --with-boost_net in giallo root. All I get, is a report of a number of targets, nothing else happens. Is the build assumed to work on Windows? Do I need a special dircetory layout? Any help appreciated! Roland
