There's a big problem with Boost.DLL's Jamfile which I do not know how to fix.

Introduction Tests of Boost.DLL create multiple *.so files and install them to a specified TEST_DIR path. Tests consume that TEST_DIR path and search for *.so in there:

path-constant TEST_DIR : $(BOOST_ROOT)/bin.v2/libs/dll/test ;

Don't do this. In addition to the problem that you're having, this effectively overrides a command line build-dir option.

Instead of passing the directory, you should pass the targets, like this:

run shared_library_load_test.cpp : # args : getting_started_libary test_library ;

Library *must not* be linked to the test. Those are not actually libraries, those are plugins, that must be searched by test and loaded using the Boost.DLL. -- Best regards, Antony Polukhin

They aren't linked. They are passed in as extra args. Re:

rule run ( sources + : args * : input-files * : requirements * : target-name ? : default-build * )

It's the "input-files" argument.

Thanks, this works. But unfortunately this method requires tests and examples to be rewritten. Also, is there a way to receive library name without a version ("libtest_library.so" instead of "libtest_library.so.1.59.0")? Solution with TEST_DIR seems friendlier to me. Could it be fixed somehow? -- Best regards, Antony Polukhin

Why? I ask because that's the file that it generates. So the question really is.. Why do you want to change the generated DLL? Solution with TEST_DIR seems friendlier to me. Could it be fixed somehow?

Not really.. Think about it how would we generate an appropriate directory to copy the DLLs into? And how would that differ from the build paths we already generate to build into? And if it doesn't differ, what's the point of another location? -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail

OK, the solution works for Linux but fails on Windows. In Jamfile I'm explicitly requesting to build shared library: lib my_plugin_sum : ../example/tutorial1/my_plugin_sum.cpp : <link>shared ; lib my_plugin_aggregator : ../example/tutorial2/my_plugin_aggregator.cpp : <link>shared ; But when I'm feeding those libraries to the test as input files: [ run ../example/tutorial3/tutorial3.cpp : : my_plugin_aggregator my_plugin_sum ] I recieve the following 2 first parameters, one of which is a static library: "D:\boost\bin.v2\libs\dll\test\msvc-12.0\dbg\adrs-mdl-64\thrd-mlt\my_plugin_sum-vc120-mt-gd-1_60.dll" "D:\boost\bin.v2\libs\dll\test\msvc-12.0\dbg\adrs-mdl-64\thrd-mlt\my_plugin_sum-vc120-mt-gd-1_60.lib" Is there a way to receive only shared libraries via input-files? -- Best regards, Antony Polukhin
