I think I figured it out: I moved the new "rule" block up in Jamefile.v2 . Now monitoring the build summaries again... Ralf ----- Original Message ---- From: Ralf W.

I'm guessing this is a bad sign. Are the log files somewhere from which I could tell what's wrong? Given boost svn trunk, I found out I can run bootstrap.sh to get a bjam executable. But I couldn't figure out how to build and run the python tests. Could some help with the commands I need? I have Fedora 6, 8, 11, 12.

I've merged the current boost/python and libs/python trunk into the release branch, followed by this patch:

Is it possible to have those two tests built and run only under Windows?

Yes. Create a function as follows (in your Jamfile): rule require-windows ( properties * ) { if ! <target-os>windows in $(properties) { return <build>no ; } } then, in requirements of your tests, use <conditional>@require-windows, e.g: [ bpl-test calling_conventions : : <condiitonal>@require-windows ] Note that cygwin is a different OS from windows, so if the test must be run on cygwin, you need to adjust conditional accordingly.
