a) in order for libraries to be built for Borland and VC 6.0 which don't support Spirit 1.8 but do support spirit 1.6, the Jamfile checks for the environmental variable SPIRIT_ROOT and if found presumes it contains the root of the directory where Spirit 1.6 is located. This has worked well in my local environment. An environment which tests this library for these compilers will also need to have Spirit 1.6 installed and have the SPIRIT_ROOT variable set accordingly. I don't know who I should inform about this.
Theoretically, it would be possible to arrange (at least for us here at Meta), but I'm afraid we don't have time for this. I'd suggest you to mark the library as unusable on VC 6.0 with a comment explaining the situation in detail.
Hi Aleksey, I'd appreciate this a lot if we could do this sometime in the future. Would it also be possible to have Spirit 1.6.x take part in the daily regressions? It would be nice if I could check in Spirit 1.6.x in a separate directory. This will ensure that the version will remain compatible with current and future boost versions. I'm afraid Spirit 1.6.x will still be with us for a long time. Tell me if this is like asking for the moon :-P Thanks! -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net
