Hi,

I've been using bjam 3.1.8 for some time now.

Thought I try the latest and greatest bjam and it gave me the
following error 

C:\MinGW\local\boost-build\example\hello>bjam
(no frame):*** argument error
* rule scanner.hdrrule ( target : matches * )
* called with: ( <.-object(c-scanner)@1>hello.cpp : <iostream> :
hello.cpp )
* extra argument hello.cpp
C:/MinGW/local/boost-build/build\scanner.jam:118:see definition of
rule 'scanner
.hdrrule' being called

using version
C:\MinGW\local\boost-build\example\hello>bjam -v
Boost.Jam Version 3.1.10. OS=NT.

just for kicks I built version 3.1.8 again, since you guys made it so
easy to do.

C:\MinGW\local\boost-build\example\hello>bjam -v
Boost.Jam Version 3.1.8. OS=NT.

C:\MinGW\local\boost-build\example\hello>bjam
...found 9 targets...

gcc.compile.c++ bin\gcc\debug\hello.o

...updated 5 targets...

-----------------
gcc info
gcc version 3.4.2 (mingw-special)
GNU ld version 2.15.91 20040904

need anything else?
.....

also could someone point me in the right direction, other than RTM, on
how to incorporate a dll.

in other words put this

gcc -o foo.exe foo.c bar.dll

into the Jamfile

Regards

Andrew
