[Boost-users] Re: [b2] b2 --show-libraries fails after clean bootstrap

But when I try to execute the following command to see if everything worked

b2 --show-libraries

then b2 restarts the compilation:

This is a known bug that is already fixed in master.

I've cleaned everything and restarted the build, but no change. I tried also the minimum bjam files to see if this works:

test.jam: "exe hello : hello.cpp ;"

hello.cpp: "int main() { return 0; }"

b2 -f test.jam

which yields the following output:

D:\...\Boost>b2 -f test.jam test.jam:1: in module scope ERROR: rule "exe" unknown in root module.

This is because exe rule requires b2's "standard library". The flag -f only results in b2 only loading the file you specified.
