John Maddock, 6/10/2010: I believe bcp on current Trunk is now doing the right thing by all the Boost libraries.
Hi John - wanted to report that bjam builds for the Boost libraries now work on both VS2005 and g++ 4.1.2 using the namespace rename (and alias) features of bcp. This was using a SVN snapshot from a couple of weeks ago. I just downloaded the beta release candidate and will try a more in-depth test. Hopefully I can do this before the 1.44 release is ready. What I've done (with the snapshot from a couple of weeks ago) and what I still would like to do with the beta release candidate: Done: Performed bcp extract and namespace rename / alias on all Boost libraries. Invoked bjam in Boost root and built (the small subset) of libraries that require a build, VS2005 (Windows), g++ 4.12 (Linux). Would like to do: Perform test and / or example builds for all Boost libraries, VS2005, g++ 4.1.2 (this would hopefully catch any header-only library namespace problems). Will do: Build our own application with the renamed namespaces (we are currently using only a small subset of Boost, but that will change soon). I'll let you know right away if I run into problems. There's a few enhancements that would be nice for the bcp namespace features, but I'll post those in a separate e-mail in a few minutes. Thanks for the updates! Cliff
