with the bjam executable?

I don't know, but rebuilding bjam within cygwin is as easy as

make CC=gcc

from within the tools/build/jam_src directory.

Good. John said it won't work for Win32 executables, but it seems that it will work for cygwin-based apps; I might find a use for that.

If John could explain what the problem is (he mentioned absolute paths, but Boost.Build doesn't really use absolute paths so I'm still a bit confused), maybe a small tweak could be applied to fix it up. -- David Abrahams dave@boost-consulting.com * http://www.boost-consulting.com Building C/C++ Extensions for Python: Dec 9-11, Austin, TX http://www.enthought.com/training/building_extensions.html
