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. As Steven Watanabe explained on the mailing list, path.glob-tree uses internal path representation while CHECK_IF_FILE expects a native path. The attached patch converts the paths using ""path.native"" before CHECK_IF_FILE is called." Patches closed To Be Determined build Boost Development Trunk Problem fixed
