Re: [Boost-Users] Re: bjam and windows command line problem.

You shouldn't be touching BOOST_ROOT. Where does this /cygdrive/d/ business come from? When I build using a cygwin bjam there are no absolute paths.

I don't know where it comes from! BOOST_ROOT is unset when I invoke bjam, but internally bjam is setting it to an absolute path: /cygdrive/d/boost/develop/boost. I haven't been able to override this.

and the SUFOBJ SUFLIB etc are all set wrong.

That's easy enough to work around on the command-line with

-sSUFOBJ=.obj -sSUFLIB=.lib

Or you can do it in the environment.

Granted, but it's a pain to have to do this, and obviously newbees won't know anything about it... John Maddock http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/john_maddock/index.htm
