Hi All,

Hi Rob,

In a couple of hours I am going on holiday for week, and i have not had the time to fully automate the test setup, so I am afraid that next week, there will be no fresh reports.

Hmm, given that you have your compiler in PATH, simply scheduling 'regression.py' to run at a certain time should be enough. Did you experience any problems we didn't foresee?

I am going to try to get my colleagues to run the script a few times, but I don't know if it will work. :-(

While on the subject of automating, two of the tests near the end generate a popup dialog about a division by zero error, that requires interaction.

Oh, this one is easy to deal with, at least on Win32 -- if you download our build monitor utility from www.meta-comm.com/engineering/boost-regression/build_monitor.exe and Sysinternals' pskill from http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pskill.shtml and place both in the 'regression.py's directory, e.g.: my_boost_regressions/ regression.py bjam.exe build_monitor.exe pskill.exe then the script will take care of things like this automatically.

I haven't had the time to look into it yet, but is this something with win32, or with mingw, or my local setup?

I'm afraid a dialog box is a standard way of reporting this kind of things on Win32. Hope this helps, and have a nice vacation! -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering
