Build log

Replying to Björn Pollex <bjoern.pollex@…>:

Running the same command in the root directory of 1.48 results in the script hanging. It does write output to bootstrap.log, the following lines repeated endlessly:

In boost_1_48_0 the following works ok with me (compiling with MSVC):

C:\boost\boost_1_48_0>b2 install --build-type=complete

If you want to compile using gcc, e.g. mingw as you mention, then you should include 'toolset=gcc' in your b2 command. The following works ok compiling thread lib:

C:\boost\boost_1_48_0>b2 --build-dir=C:\boost-build --with-thread --build-type=complete toolset=gcc

However, trying to compile everything still fails:

C:\boost\boost_1_48_0>b2 --build-dir=C:\boost-build --build-type=complete toolse
t=gcc stage

See attachment for output; maybe I should start a new ticket for that.

I'm having a similar problem to Björn but only on Windows XP.

I noticed that the line endings for this file changed in the 1.48 release: tools\build\v2\engine\build.bat

I think this could be causing the problem because changing the file to Windows line endings (which is what bootstrap.bat uses) fixes the problem.

I've attached a patch for completeness.

Replying to p.jackson@…:

I've attached a patch for completeness.

The patch file should be ignored, I see that the file gets the correct line endings when checked out using SVN.
