Subject: [boost] [newbie] running tests

Hi,

I have a (probably silly) question about running Boost tests.

Where can I find a summary of the results after running the tests?

For example, I ran the Boost.Fusion tests by going to libs/fusion/test
and running ../../../bjam. Here's the last few lines of the output:

common.mkdir ../../../bin.v2/libs/fusion/test/invoke_procedure.test
common.mkdir ../../../bin.v2/libs/fusion/test/invoke_procedure.test/gcc-4.8.0
common.mkdir ../../../bin.v2/libs/fusion/test/invoke_procedure.test/gcc-4.8.0/debug
common.mkdir ../../../bin.v2/libs/fusion/test/invoke_procedure.test/gcc-4.8.0/debug/functional
gcc.compile.c++ ../../../bin.v2/libs/fusion/test/invoke_procedure.test/gcc-4.8.0/debug/functional/invoke_procedure.o
gcc.link ../../../bin.v2/libs/fusion/test/invoke_procedure.test/gcc-4.8.0/debug/invoke_procedure
testing.capture-output ../../../bin.v2/libs/fusion/test/invoke_procedure.test/gcc-4.8.0/debug/invoke_procedure.run
**passed** ../../../bin.v2/libs/fusion/test/invoke_procedure.test/gcc-4.8.0/debug/invoke_procedure.test
common.mkdir ../../../bin.v2/libs/fusion/test/swap.test
common.mkdir ../../../bin.v2/libs/fusion/test/swap.test/gcc-4.8.0
common.mkdir ../../../bin.v2/libs/fusion/test/swap.test/gcc-4.8.0/debug
common.mkdir ../../../bin.v2/libs/fusion/test/swap.test/gcc-4.8.0/debug/sequence
gcc.compile.c++ ../../../bin.v2/libs/fusion/test/swap.test/gcc-4.8.0/debug/sequence/swap.o
gcc.link ../../../bin.v2/libs/fusion/test/swap.test/gcc-4.8.0/debug/swap
testing.capture-output ../../../bin.v2/libs/fusion/test/swap.test/gcc-4.8.0/debug/swap.run
**passed** ../../../bin.v2/libs/fusion/test/swap.test/gcc-4.8.0/debug/swap.test
...updated 1098 targets...

I can tell from this that the last two tests passed, but what about
the other 1096 that scrolled off the screen? Should there not be
a summary somewhere?

Thanks,
Nate
