Sorry!
Okay, I've commented out the compression tests.
I expected the compression tests to fail on some system because they need some environment variables set. But I don't understand why they would break the other tests.
Because all the targets have to be known at the beginning of the test run.
What is meant by 'boost_zlib'? I'm not aware of such a lib in boost?!
It's defined in boost-root/libs/iostreams/build/zlib.jam, which is imported by boost-root/libs/iostreams/test/Jamfile
Do you mean external libraries that have to be configured by environment settings?
The default values should work on unix-like systems including Cygwin. For other windows systems,environment variables need to be set. Making the compression test pass is not my first priority, though. I was expecting compiler errors of the form "cannot find 'zlib.h'"
Btw, did you realize that all the lines of your source files end with "\r\r\n" in cvs?
I looked at a 8 randomly selected files with a hex editor and don't see any problems. My text editors generally warn about inconsistent line-endings. If you point out the corrupted files, I'll fix them ASAP.
