Re: BBv2 and globbing

Hello Dave,

thanks for instantly reply. However, this does not work.
I added the following lines into the jamfile in order to test
the globbing operator:

project system
: usage-requirements <include>inc
: requirements <link>static
: source-location src
;

local t1 = [ glob src/*.cxx ] ;
#local t2 = [ glob cpp/kernel/syskernel/system/src : *.cxx ] ;
local t3 = [ glob cpp/kernel/syskernel/system/src/*.cxx ] ;
local t4 = [ GLOB cpp/kernel/syskernel/system/src : *.cxx ] ;
local t5 = [ GLOB src : *.cxx ] ;

#lib system : [ glob src/*.cxx ] ;

ECHO "t1" ;
ECHO $(t1) ;

ECHO "t2" ;
ECHO $(t2) ;

ECHO "t3" ;
ECHO $(t3) ;

ECHO "t4" ;
ECHO $(t4) ;

ECHO "t5" ;
ECHO $(t5) ;

Only t5 gives me the desired list of files in direcory src. t2 is completlyinvalid and yields to an error.
I should add that I started bjam from the directory root (root/cpp/kernel/syskernel/system/src/).

Running bjam --version prompts
Boost.Build V2 (Milestone 9.1)
Boost.Jam 03.01.09

Any hints?

With best regards 

Johannes
