Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #7596: process_jam_log - --locate-root doesn't work as advertised https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7596 <p> Beman, </p> <p> I've found that --locate-root doesn't permit one to build/test a library outside the boost root directory. I've made changes to support this and tested it locally on my own projects. I can't really test it on the whole boost regression testing on my equipment. So I'm a little bit in a quandary. </p> <p> I'm attaching the patch with my changes. I hope you can consider rolling them in. </p> <p> The intention is that it the changes don't change the functioning of the code for current usage. However, I'm a little at a loss with the library name function. The problem occurs when there is a "sublibrary" file. I'm still looking at this. </p> <p> My motivation is that I really, really need to be able to run this program from outside the boost directory. This is to support the current project I'm trying to finish - "Help for Boost Library Authors - Simple Tools - Build and Test". www.blincubator.com . Basically this is a effort to make it easier to make quality C++ and Boost libraries and support "modularization" of boost. I've invested a lot of effort and hope to be able to finish up these sticky bits. I've shown my effort to a few cohorts, and response has been unenthusiastic. As always, I'm not disuaded and have invested too much effort to bail now. So I hope you can help me with this one sticky detail. </p> <p> Thanks for any help you can provide on this critical point. </p> <p> Robert Ramey </p> <p> </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7596 Trac 1.4.3 Robert Ramey Wed, 31 Oct 2012 16:24:44 GMT attachment set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7596 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7596 <ul> <li><strong>attachment</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">process_jam_log.diff</span> </li> </ul> <p> patch for process_jam_log to support --locate_root </p> Ticket Robert Ramey Wed, 31 Oct 2012 22:04:21 GMT attachment set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7596 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7596 <ul> <li><strong>attachment</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">process_jam_log.2.diff</span> </li> </ul> Ticket viboes Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:44:09 GMT component changed https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7596#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7596#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>component</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">Building Boost</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">build</span> </li> </ul> Ticket Steven Watanabe Fri, 29 Mar 2013 17:27:28 GMT component changed https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7596#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7596#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>component</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">build</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">Regression Testing</span> </li> </ul> <p> process_jam_log is one of the regression test tools.
