I'm not sure if bcp itself supports modular b2. Specifically, I don't see where it copies the <library>/build.jam files. No, it doesn't. I have a PR (https://github.com/boostorg/bcp/pull/23)
пн, 28 апр. 2025 г. в 15:17, Andrey Semashev via Boost < boost@lists.boost.org>: that fixes that to a degree, but it seems to create other problems judging by the CI failure. I didn't have any prior BCP knowledge, and it fixed the specific problem that inspired me to write the PR (the problem was reported on Boost users' list, IIRC), so I never got to finish it.
I'll try and take a look when I get a chance.
However, I get the impression that bcp is used by increasingly fewer people... now that we have modular CMake and Boost.Build, do we still need it?
The main use case these days appears to be to change the boost namespace. Which is something that is not resolved by the modular changes. Maybe there's some other way to support that use case? And by that I mean.. Maybe there's some not-Boost tool out there that does that. As it seems like a general C++ thing. -- -- René Ferdinand Rivera Morell -- Don't Assume Anything -- No Supongas Nada -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net
