Was there a change in the way b2 works sometime in the last 12 months, or did I set up the system incorrectly?
Yes, it appears that there was a change, judging by the history of link.jam:
https://github.com/boostorg/build/commits/develop/src/tools/link.jam
Specifically, it looks like it was this Feb 5 change:
https://github.com/boostorg/build/commit/3116da2b95ad02748c744a44ecec67789a9...
In summary, you did nothing wrong, you just did your setup before this change. Life in develop is sometimes like that, and having to delete boost/ and rerun b2 headers a few times a year is nothing extraordinary. :-)
Thank you that is very helpful. I have run the same changes on master and all tests have worked as expected for Phoenix. I have added this to my collection of knowledge about being a maintainer. It has been an interesting experience being a maintainer without having been the author of any of the libraries. Thank you again John _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
