Boost Build V2 Information
All - Since we're deprecating BB v1 I wanted to start using v2 in my maintenance activities. I've already used v2 for doc stuff using
bjam -v2
commands, but now I want to use it for testing. In particular, I want to do the equivalent of the v1
cd libs/date_time/test bjam --verbose-test
If I say
bjam -v2 --verbose-test
it doesn't work. So my questions are, is there an upgrade document? Do I need to recompile a new version of bjam with the latest? I found some v2 docs out at Metacomm, but they aren't answering these questions. Thx, Jeff
Try #2 -- any help here folks? I guess I'll cross-post to the testing list... Jeff Garland wrote:

The build list would be more apropos.
If I say
bjam -v2 --verbose-test ^
You need --v2 to get BBv2, but AFAICT from the BBv2 code --verbose-test is supported.
it doesn't work.

Ok, well I have new results with the release candidate. I just refreshed cvs. Then I went and built and installed a fresh copy of bjam. Results are below. Basically it appears I need to configure my toolsets now -- please point me to the documentation and I'll gladly follow the instructions.

Please see: http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/configuration.htm I have modified V2 to mention this URL in the error message. Thanks, Volodya

Thanks, I'll keep trying later, but my initial tries have met with the same error. BTW, the URL you gave 404's (it's actually html not htm): http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/configuration.html Jeff
