Hi There is a bashism in common.jam of Boost.Build v2. I have reported this problem to the jamboost mailing list but apparently, nobody picked it up (no reply whatsoever). The normal 'sh' shell does not allow 'export VAR=value' but only 'VAR=value;export VAR' instead. The patch against 1.24 is attached (I also removed some trailing white space, there is more 4 lines down but I did not correct it).
