I would like a method to condition an entire test program on the value of a boost config macro. I realize that this is a pain and god forbid I have to make my bjam script even more complex than it is or have to remember some more boost build syntax/rules. So far I've been able to avoid needing this.
Did you not see a previous post from John Maddock explaining how to use a "requires" rule invocation so that you can run a test depending on config macro features ?
No
Does that do what you want ?
Maybe.
What I really want is a window into the boost build documention which people can post this extra information to. Sort of like php - documentation or similar to the pages in the boost library incubator (www.blincubator). So that I don't have to spend hours trolling the whole world's internet to find information like this.
Robert, the standard way for projects on github to maintain such dynamic documentation is the wiki, so for Boost.Build, that would be: https://github.com/boostorg/build/wiki that page is empty now, but if anybody has content to add, it's one click. For example of a project that uses wiki for all documentation, see: https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/API-Reference -- Vladimir Prus CodeSourcery / Mentor Embedded http://vladimirprus.com
