What is the algorithm for setting a PATH on Windows when the 'run' or 'run-fail' rule occurs in a jamfile ?
<big snip> Sigh - what a shambles :-( I'm amazed that you still have the will to live! Have you any experience of using http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/about or do you use mingw-builds or mingw-64?
No doubt the clang jam file should be updated to somehow automatically prepend a mingw(-64)/gcc RTL implementation specified by the user to the Windows PATH for the 'run' and 'run-fail' situations. If I really knew bjam, rather than having just dabbled at it, I could probably do this. But I have never really studied bjam and Boost build, and like others, have just dabbled at it long enough to do a few really simple things. The syntax still bothers me as well as the difficulty of actually understanding how things work and what functionality is available.
Would asking on the Boost-build
