Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #2082: BOOST_BUILD_PATH isn't always respected https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2082 <p> I've been trying out the Boost.Build system. I've struggled to get the right settings for Apple's special GCC, and I think I mostly got them right. The hello example at "<a class="ext-link" href="https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/tools/build/v2/example/hello"><span class="icon">​</span>https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/tools/build/v2/example/hello</a>" worked, but the code I'm trying at "<a class="ext-link" href="https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/integer/test"><span class="icon">​</span>https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/integer/test</a>" didn't. (Both are from a working copy set at revision 47170.) A major difference was that the test directory run kept warning about no toolsets being found. That led me to the answer, based on the fact that I'm using a BOOST_BUILD_PATH shell variable to point where I'm keeping my "user-config.jam" file. This setting overrides the search in the user's main directory. As soon as I made a soft-link from my configuration file to my home directory, the test directory run worked. This means that, somehow, the Jam-file for the Boost.Integer tests, or a Jam-file higher in the hierarchy, is ignoring the BOOST_BUILD_PATH setting. </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2082 Trac 1.4.3 Steven Watanabe Thu, 08 Jan 2009 04:09:47 GMT component changed; owner set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2082#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2082#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>owner</strong> set to <span class="trac-author">Vladimir Prus</span> </li> <li><strong>component</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">Building Boost</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">build</span> </li> </ul> Ticket Vladimir Prus Fri, 13 Mar 2009 08:13:09 GMT <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2082#comment:2 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2082#comment:2</guid> <description> <p> I cannot understand the problem description.
