Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #5163: Support tilde paths when installing. https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5163 <p> On linux, installing boost build using <code>bjam install --prefix=~/boost/env</code> installs to a subdirectory called <code>~</code>, typically <code>boost/tools/build/v2/~</code>. I guess that normally such paths are expanded by the shell so bjam doesn't have to deal with them, but because '--prefix=~/boost/env' appears to be a single argument that didn't happen. Would it be possible to support this? </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5163 Trac 1.4.3 Vladimir Prus Sat, 19 Mar 2011 09:45:41 GMT <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5163#comment:1 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5163#comment:1</guid> <description> <p> FWIW, I think this might be a good improvement. However, since this is generally how many Unix tools behave, I view it as a low-priority improvement; patches would be welcome. </p> </description> <category>Ticket</category> </item> </channel> </rss>
