I'm trying to tweak Boost.Integer, and I noticed that only 3 of the 6 test files there are being used. I changed the jam-file there, but I don't use Boost.Build myself, so can someone here confirm that the changes work. You can check out the exact changes with Change-set 47123 at <http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/47123>.
In other words, you've checked in something, and you don't know if that works? You really better learn how to use Boost.Build -- for the mainstream toolsets and operating systems, it's trivial.
I did read the documentation first.... (And it's a copy & paste of an existing line in the file.) .. OK, I tried Boost.Build out: 1. Since I'm loading from SVN, I'm have to make sure bjam is always generated after an update. I have this in a shell script: //================================= MY_HOME=~ MY_PROGRAMMING="$MY_HOME"/Documents/Programming MY_BOOST="$MY_PROGRAMMING"/Boost MY_BOOST_SVN="$MY_BOOST"/main-svn/boost-trunk echo "Updating Boost Main SVN" cd "$MY_BOOST_SVN" svn update echo "Rebuilding Boost.Jam for SVN" cd "$MY_BOOST_SVN"/tools/jam/src sh ./build.sh cp bin.macosxppc/bjam "$MY_HOME"/bin/bjam-svn rm -rf bootstrap rm -rf bin.macosxppc //================================= Is there a better way to do this? Is making the final executable be named "bjam-svn" bad? Calling "bjam-svn --version" gets me "Boost.Build V2 (Milestone 12) Boost.Jam 03.1.17" (on two lines). It properly uses the "darwin" toolset when building. 2. I put $MY_BOOST down as my $BOOST_BUILD_PATH, so I wouldn't have to put the *-config.jam files in my home directory. My copies of the latest Boost download and the subversion repository are also in this directory. Will that mess anything up? What's the "site-config.jam" file for anyway? Only one line was uncommented in "user-config.jam", the "using gcc ;" line. Is this suitable for a Mac OS X (10.4.11) system? 3.
