| Summary | 0000182: Use of slash in Jam build under MinGW? | ||||
| Description | During the jam build in Windows under MinGW, I get a whole stack of backslashes in the Jam output. Surely under MSYS the forward slashes should be used? if $(NT) { SLASH = \\ ; } should change to something like if $(NT) { if $(TOOLSET) != "MINGW" ; { SLASH = \\ ; } } | ||||

Note the distinction here between perhaps using 'MinGW' by itself, as opposed to using the shell provided by MSYS. Perhaps all this would be working fine if I wasn't using the MSYS shell? JP |

Yes, this looks to be an MSYS issue. You're the first to undertake this experiment, and there are obviously some issues. I can't think of an obvious way to deal with this automatically in jam. I believe you can override the jam definition of SLASH by setting it on the command line (jam -sSLASH=/). Otherwise, we looking at either a new envorinment variable, manually-editing Jamrules, or writing a test in configure and setting a new build variable. Will have to mull it over a little. We need to modify configure.in anyway to generate some sort of variable to indicate debug options, so maybe this is part of that scope. I don't use MSYS, just the gcc and bintools core of mingw. |

Hi Jerry So you're just running Jam from a windows cmd window? And no attempt to use ./configure under MSYS or Cygwin at this stage, I take it? JP |

we're not using Jam any more |
