boost-buil rule does not overrule BOOST_BUILD_PATH
| Reported by: | Owned by: | René Rivera | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Milestone: | Boost.Jam 3.1.15 | Component: | bjam |
| Version: | Boost.Jam 3.1.14 | Severity: | Problem |
| Keywords: | BOOST_BUILD_PATH | Cc: | roland.schwarz@… |
Description
When a BOOST_BUILD_PATH is set, or on Linux when a boost-build.jam is present in /usr/share/boost-build, the build system is always loaded from there. Even a boost-build.jam which sets a different path does not overule this behaviour. This is problematic, since e.g. this will prevent to build the boost libraries when the user has set an out of date default boost-build. E.g. I have been trapped into this because I installed the debian boost-build package. The behaviour has been explicitely changed to the current behaviour, but I have no idea why. The file where this can be changed is the Jambase file in the bjam sources. If this behaviour will stay the way it is, could someone please give a clear rationale?

Correct. I just forgot to close. Sorry. Ref.: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/38620 and http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/38618
Roland,
I'm under the impression that this is already fixed. Is it?
