Mark,

I'm using Boost.Build V2 (Milestone 7) Boost.Jam 03.01.07.
Somehow, the command-line setting doesn't get through - I'll investigate that as soon as I have some spare time.
In the meantime, I'd be grateful if someone can give me an idea of why thishappens...

Thanks for your help,

Pedro

It worked for me both from the command line (-sJAMSHELL=%) and putting it in Jambase (I'm writing a completely custom Jambase for our specific needs). I'm using this version of Jam:

Boost.Jam Version 3.1.6. OS=NT.
Copyright 1993-2002 Christopher Seiwald and Perforce Software, Inc.
Copyright 2001 David Turner.
Copyright 2001-2002 David Abrahams.

Which seems newer than the latest release on SourceForge. Someone else here downloaded it so I don't know if they got it from cvs or something. However I discovered the feature by looking at the source code to version 3.1.4 which I did download so I'd have thought it would work in that too.

Good luck.....
Mark.

Mark,

thanks for the tip but I can't make it work: it doesn't even seem to reach execnt.c...

I tried to set the variable in the environment, in the command-line andin the Jamfile and neither has worked.

Any help would be much appreciated,

Pedro

I use JAMSHELL=% which makes jam execute the command directly without a shell and has no command line length limit. Of course it does mean that you can't use shell features like redirection and pipes, but it sounds like you're just doing a normal compile so you wouldn't need them anyway.

Mark.
