Hello again,
You can pass --preserve-test-targets to bjam to suppress that behavior.
Ha, that's easier then hitting ctrl+c in the middle of the build, thanks :).
So what is the difference in command-line options vs. whatever you invoked to build/run the boost regression tests
To build the regression I go to lib/filesystem/test and run [ bjam "-sTOOLS=mingw" ] without the stage.
you should consider whether there's just an outright bug in the test program
I did, but it's basically the same line as the simple_ls program and compiling that and giving it a full path breaks too. ls sample: http://boost.org/libs/filesystem/example/simple_ls.cpp
fs::path( argv[1], fs::native )
Thank you for your time, - Dave "David Abrahams" <dave@boost-consulting.com> wrote in message news:uhdgpn58j.fsf@boost-consulting.com...

Thanks to that output (-a -odump.txt ), I found something interesting when doing testing.
When you run the tests on the boost filesystem, it builds a static library at:
bin\boost\libs\filesystem\build\libboost_filesystem.lib\mingw\debug\libboost_filesystem-mgw-d-1_32.lib
It then deletes the library when the tests are over.
That's so that when we're doing the big regression tests we don't fill up testers' disks needlessly. You can pass --preserve-test-targets to bjam to suppress that behavior.
If I break the build right after it builds this test library and then link to that library from my test program, the program executes without an exception!
For some reason the library that the tests are building is working, and the libraries that are built using [ jam "-sTOOLS=mingw" stage ] are not working!
I am very confused now. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I was suggesting that it has to do with the way you compiled your minimal.obj, and that you check that difference. However, since the library built for testing works with your minimal.obj it must be a difference in the way the library is being built for stage. So what is the difference in command-line options with
bjam "-sTOOLS=mingw" stage
vs. whatever you invoked to build/run the boost regression tests?
Also, I guess you should consider whether there's just an outright bug in the test program, although it looks too simple to be wrong.
