Hi !

I've problems getting current CVS to run under Cygwin NT.

It seems that somehow path.jam fails to recognise 

CYGWIN_NT-5.0 as CYGWIN so that native-CYGWIN is not called.

The error message is

e:/libraries/boost_cvs/tools/build/new\path.jam:50: in native
rule native-CYGWIN_NT-5.0 unknown in module path.
e:/libraries/boost_cvs/tools/build/new\path.jam:252: in path.glob
e:/libraries/boost_cvs/tools/build/new\project-roots.jam:66: in 
find-project-root
e:/libraries/boost_cvs/tools/build/new\project-roots.jam:25: in 
project-roots.load
e:/libraries/boost_cvs/tools/build/new\project.jam:61: in project.load
e:/libraries/boost_cvs/tools/build\build-system.jam:74: in load
e:\libraries\boost_cvs\tools\build\kernel\modules.jam:296: in import
e:\libraries\boost_cvs\tools\build\kernel\bootstrap.jam:122: in 
boost-build
e:\develop\dws\boost-build.jam:11: in module scope

The system seems to fail on line 24 where

os = [ modules.peek : OS ] ;
if [ modules.peek : UNIX ] 
{    
local uname = [ modules.peek : JAMUNAME ] ;
switch $(uname)
{
case CYGWIN* :
os = CYGWIN ;
        
case * :
os = UNIX ;
}        
}

takes place. On my cygwin installation, there is no environment variable 
called "UNIX". An JAMUNAME is empty, too.

When I try to hardcode os = NT ; then bjam fails in property jam, where 
it also finds os = CYGWIN_NT-5.0

Any Ideas ?

Yours,

Jürgen
