Looking at more of the context of python.jam what you want is to select based on the <architecture> feature. Something like:
if ! [ feature.get-values architecture : $(condition) ] in ia64 || [ feature.get-values python : $(condition) ] in 1.5 1.6 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 { suffix = sl ; } else { suffix = so ; } I can use '! [ feature.get-values architecture : $(condition) ] in ia64' or I can use '[ os.platform ] != IA64' (I tested the latter during the weekend). Which one is preferable?
Whichever is appropriate for your use case. The former represents the target architecture of the compiler and the latter represents the OS that bjam is being run on. I suspect you want the former.
I guess I wasn't clear... Using "architecture" in this case is preferred because it is operating on a build product. To allow for cross-compiles it is not advisable to rely on system runtime values like '[ os.platform ]'. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo
