Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: [jam] HardLink rule on NT platform Initial Comment: I've installed boost and noticed that HardLink rule on NT copies file although NT has support for hardlinks (on NTFS, of course). To use this feature while installing boost i've created file hardlink.bat with following contents: fsutil hardlink create %2 %1 and put it into %WINDIR%\system32 also i've changed line 194 of tools\build\v1\allyourbase.jam file from LN ?= $(CP) ; to LN ?= hardlink ; these changes allowed me to save about 600 M of my harddisk space. Not a big deal, yes, but otherwise these 600M would exceed my disk space :-) I think my solution is not ideal, but it could be helpful for people. So maybe it will be included in boost distibution, when adapted.
