containing the patch. I also hope to convince Robert Ramey to let me patch the Serialization Jamfile.v2 file so that the location of Spirit 1.6 may be specified by means of an environment variable, as it was under BBv1 .
I just looked into my Jamfile.v2 from the thread_rewrite branch where I had to solve a similar problem. In that case I tried to specify different APIS. The trick I think can be used for requiring different serialization API's too. Here's a sketch how it would work: In the requirements one would specify: lib whatever : whatever.cpp : # requirements <toolset>msvc-6.5:<spirit-api>1.6 ; In an include file something like: feature.feature spirit-api : 1.6 ; Following a rule that modifies the include path if the version is available. Details can be looked up in the thread_rewrite branch under libs/thread/build/thread.jam What do you think? Roland
Alternatively it is possible to modify the Borland 5.8.2 entry in user-config.jam and add the appropriate option there.
If you have no objections, I'd like to take a few days to see if I can pull this through, say until Volodya gives the heads up about the regression tools.
Cheers, Nicola Musatti
