I had changed mine to "/drive" and when I tried to build, I got an assertion failure: assertion "self->size < self->capacity" failed: file "strings.c", line 16 self->size == -165761813 self->capacity == 64 backtrace: assert_invariants (strings.c:15) string_free (strings.c:44) var_expand (expand.c:410) var_expand_unit_test (expand.c:696) run_unit_tets (jam.c:197) main (jam.c:299) Even if it's not worth it to accomodate non-standard Cygwin setups such as mine, I wouldn't expect the assertion failure to occur in strings.c. I think this can be reproduced by changing the "/cygdrive/c/foo/bar" string constants to invalid paths (in expand.c on lines 682 and 702) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=107586&aid=940941&group_id=7586 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The Robotic Monkeys at ThinkGeek For a limited time only, get FREE Ground shipping on all orders of $35 or more.
