Re: [boost] can't get <include> to work on windows

I think I found a bug in the windows version of bjam.  If I change the directory name,  ../include ,  to anything else,  for example ../inc ,  then it works fine.  The name ../include confounds the windows version of bjam.

install ../bin : hello test.hello ;

lib hello : hello.cpp : <include>../include : <link>shared ;

exe test.hello : test.hello.cpp .//hello/<link>shared  : <include>../include ;

It works fine on Linux. But when I run bjam with the same files, and the same directory structure on a windows box, the <include> doesn't work. How can I fix this problem?

the windows box produces this error output:
