Well, I wanted 2 things to be run as one command on the cmd line (one compile and one compile-fail).

I have a simple Jamfile with just this:

test-suite Simple_String_Compile_Fail_ut :

and a blank Jamroot

When I run Simple_String_Compile_Fail_ut
I get :
error: No best alternative for ./Simple_String_Compile_Fail_ut
   next alternative: required properties: (empty)
       matched

I've looked at the Jamfiles in boost that use this and it seems to
work with the same syntax.  Is there some magic in my Jamroot I need?
 

Best to leave out test-suite entirely.

testing.compile-fail Simple_String_Compile_Fail_ut.cpp /boost//headers ;
