Comment (by chris0@…):

 Replying to [comment:1 hkaiser]:

 to SVN.

 Sorry, I don’t have one.

 Neither of the following worked for me:[[BR]]
     if [ os.name ] != HPUX && [ os.name ] != darwin[[BR]]
     if [ os.name ] != HPUX && [ os.name ] != posix[[BR]]
 Which was why I ended up simply commenting out the line.

 If I understand the ECHO command then os.name appears to be empty on
 OSX.[[BR]]
 In python 2.7.2 (the default on OSX 10.8.2) `os.name` returns 'posix' (not
 very helpful) but `os.getenv("OSTYPE")` returns 'darwin'.

 However, I don’t understand boost.build well enough to know how to make
 use of that info.[[BR]]
 [And I’d rather eat sand then waste more time trying to understand it.]
