Subject: [boost] [build] bjam in boost/tools/build/v2/test doesn't work
From: Jim Bell (Jim_at_[hidden])

Running bjam in boost/tools/build/v2/test doesn't (seem to) run build's
regressions. Instead, I get:

jamfile.jam:8: in modules.load
rule project-root unknown in module
Jamfile</F:/tmp/boost-MinGW-32/trunk/boost/t
ools/build/v2/test>.
F:/tmp/boost-MinGW-32/trunk/boost/tools/build/v2/build\project.jam:314:

2: in boost-build
F:\tmp\boost-MinGW-32\trunk\boost\tools\build\v2\test\boost-build.jam:14: in
module scope

If I run "python absolute_sources.py" (to pick that test as an example),
I get very little (and it doesn't match regression test output):
F:\tmp\boost-MinGW-32\trunk\boost\tools\build\v2\test\TestCmd.py:60:
Deprecation Warning: The popen2 module is deprecated. Use the
subprocess module.
  import popen2

Am I close? I realize that build is a different animal. Are there
instructions for running its tests in isolation? (Could those
instructions be put in boost/tools/build/v2/index.html?)

If you're reading this on the boost-build list, please CC me as I'm not
subscribed.

Thanks,

PS: My apologies if I missed a response to this. I posted it last week
on boost.
