Hmmm - isn't that how we got to this thread? I cloned modular boost to my xp machine where I have cygwin installed. I invoked booststrap.sh from the cygwin shell and it builds b2 executable and maybe some other stuff. When I try to invoke b2 to run local tests on the library it doesn't work. I think stephen points to a change to b2 source - but maybe it's some jam file. My point is that something has been released that doesn't work as one would expect. For boost libraries we have a mechanism to detect and diminish the incidence of this problem - the distinction between the master and develop branch. A problem of this type should be detectable before library developers start using the code.
This problem slipped through because no one is testing this configuration. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
