Ah.

I:\modular-boost>b2 --reconfigure
Building the Boost C++ Libraries.
Performing configuration checks
    - symlinks supported       : yes  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<  looks promising!
[  ] 
And was successful, and works OK every time,

But I can't get it to work on another machine.

I've checked that the links.jam contains the new symlinks code.

I've tried on develop and master branches.

I've done b2 --reconfigure more than once.

Is it significant that it says cached?  Do I have to empty the cache?

Any ideas what else I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Paul
