any configuration has to be done within the jam language, using rules that don't execute any commands!
You mean you can't even adapt to changing gcc versions in the bjam configuration? I *knew* why I dislike build systems that can't adapt themselves to changing system configurations (in the way autoconf does its work). Seems like an autojam is desperately needed (and no, I'm not volunteering :).
If I could execute commands to do the configuration this would be easy :-)
I've also changed the behavior when the ICU lib files aren't found under $(ICU_PATH)/lib: then it prints a warning, but still adds the "usual" library names to the linker command line in the hope that they'll be found in a std path somewhere.
That's very reasonable, given the constraints you have. Thanks! Philipp -- Philipp Thomas <pth@suse.de> Research & Development SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuremberg, Germany
