What is the recommended way to build bjam on cygwin? The documentation didn't seem to specify anything unusual about a cygwin build, but trying

sh ./build.sh

produces the following output:

$ sh ./build.sh ./build.sh: line 2: $'\r': command not found ./build.sh: line 6: $'\r': command not found ./build.sh: line 9: $'\r': command not found ./build.sh: line 12: syntax error near unexpected token `$'\r'' '/build.sh: line 12: `echo_run ()

I am not that familiar with Cygwin, am I doing something wrong?

Probably your cygwin installation is set to use *nix line endings, and you checked out ./build.sh on Windows. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
