OTOH, I was thinking that maybe preprocess.cmd could just contain:

gcc -E -C -P -I%(boost_root) "-D BOOST_USER_CONFIG=<%(boost_root)/libs/mpl/preprocessed/include/%(mode)/u ser.hpp>" -D BOOST_MPL_CFG_NO_OWN_PP_PRIMITIVES %(file) >%(file_path)

which could be read into a variable, compile_cmd, which would then be used as:

os.system( compile_cmd % { 'boost_root':boost_root, 'mode':mode, 'file':file, 'file_path':file_path } )

does that sound OK?

It would have to be '... -I%(boost_root)s' and similarly for other arguments, but otherwise that's an excellent idea! It eliminates the need for having two different 'preprocess' files. OK, the above is in the CVS now. Thank you! -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering
