https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5534 <p> bootstrapping the current boost-build (svn rev. 71622) on windows and executing ./bjam install does not copy the example files to share\boost-build on windows like it does on linux. </p> <p> The problem is in boost-build/Jamroot: $(e1) the result of "path.glob-tree" contains entries of the form "/T:/foo/bar/boost-build/example/hello/readme.txt". Note the extra "/" at the front. CHECK_IF_FILE does not recognize those paths and therefore nothing is copied. </p> <p> As Steven Watanabe explained on the mailing list, path.glob-tree uses internal path representation while CHECK_IF_FILE expects a native path. </p> <p> The attached patch converts the paths using "path.native" before CHECK_IF_FILE is called. </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5534 Trac 1.4.3 mhassert@… Thu, 12 May 2011 11:40:55 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5534 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5534 <ul> <li><strong>attachment</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">fix_install_examples_on_windows.diff</span> </li> </ul> <p> patch to fix installing of boost-build examples on windows </p> Ticket Vladimir Prus Sun, 05 Jun 2011 20:11:42 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5534#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5534#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">fixed</span> </li> </ul> <p> (In <a class="changeset" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/changeset/72424" title="Fix installing Boost.Build examples on Windows.
