Re: [boost] [boostbook] BOOST_ROOT vs BOOST_BUILD_PATH

Hi,

the installation script for Boostbook contains:

elif test -r "$BOOST_ROOT/tools/build/v2/user-config.jam"; then JAM_CONFIG_IN="$BOOST_ROOT/tools/build/v2/user-config.jam";

Shouldn't BOOST_BUILD_PATH be checked, too?

The code apparently looks for something that resides somewhere in the guts of Boost.Build. Isn't that location specified by BOOST_BUILD_PATH if that variable is set? What happens if you install BBv2 at some place unrelated to BOOST_ROOT? Regards, m Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com
