Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #8805: Getting error using Shell rule after upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/8805 <p> I was happily doing development using bjam under the previous Ubuntu LTS release. I using package manager to upgrade to the 12.04 LTS release. Now my Jamfiles no longer work. example: </p> <p> SHELL "mkdir -vp $(SOLUTION_ROOT)/log $(SOLUTION_ROOT)/conf" ; </p> <p> used to work just fine. Now I get an error </p> <p> "<strong>* argument error </strong></p> <ul><li>rule SHELL ( command : * ) </li><li>called with: ( ) </li><li>missing argument command" </li></ul><p> I'm guessing that the previous bjam parsed the quote characters differently. I've tried various quoting schemes but can't get it to work. Any ideas/ </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/8805 Trac 1.4.3 viboes Sun, 04 Aug 2013 07:58:41 GMT component changed https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/8805#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/8805#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>component</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">None</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">Building Boost</span> </li> </ul> Ticket Steven Watanabe Tue, 01 Apr 2014 02:30:39 GMT <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/8805#comment:2 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/8805#comment:2</guid> <description> <p> SOLUTION_ROOT is empty. </p> </description> <category>Ticket</category> </item> </channel> </rss>
