"Fernando Cacciola"
Hi,
I'm having a hard time trying to use bjam to build boost 1.29.0. I have Win98 in Spanish, and I use Borland C++ Builder 5.0 (its bcc32.exe corresponds to is BCC5.5.1)
I have boost 1.29.0 installed at: "C:\Libraries\boost\Repository\boost"
<snip>
If I'm interpreting this output correctly, the problem is that the command line feed to bcc32 exceeds 256 characters.
What can be done about this? Is there a way for 'borland-tools.jam' to put the bcc32 parameters in a tmp response file and use: bcc32.exe @tmprsp.rsp?
Any help will be appreciated.
Fernando, Unfortunately, bjam is somewhat limited by the underlying shell used to actually run the build commands. We've had a hard time getting it to cooperate with Win9x for that reason. John Maddock has had some success by building and running bjam under Cygwin, which has no command-line length limitation. I'm not sure whether it can be made to run the Borland toolset that way or not, but I know that John targets Borland so it's a good bet.
