How do you want to integrate? Do you want to run your tests as a part of all the other tests? I wouldn't know how to do that but I think you don't need to if you want to prepare a submission. IMO, all that's necessary is that your tests and examples build/run from their respective subdirectories.
Basically, I would like to build tests so that they do the "right" thing w.r.t. all other boost tests.
I would like to be able to run from the top, with all tests, and also stand alone. I would also like it to integrate properly with the command line options and so on, but I am beginning to think that none of the tests can do this as it is...
If by "top" you mean boost-root.. Tests never build or run from that location. The regression test machines run "all" tests from the boost-root/status directory. When a library is added to Boost the library author adds a reference to their library tests in the boost-root/status/Jamfile (if you take a look it should be obvious from the examples there). But before a library is accepted and hence is not added to Boost you should only need to run the tests for the library from library-root/libs/<library>/test, which should have a Jamfile. All the fancy options that you see when you are at the boost-root, and do "bjam --help", are only available at that location. And are only intended for build+install for the libraries that need it, and for the headers. That is, it's a _user_ convenience, library developers have to deal with Boost.Build directly. Hope this clarifies some things for you. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com - 102708583/icq
