Hi all,

I am trying to build a static library using Borland and the
*wonderful* tool tlib.

Has any one managed to get this to work?

It would seem that trying to pass a directory with a - (i.e.
bin/Borland/debug/link-static/Blah.lib) in the library name causes a
problem for tlib. This is regardless of the type of environment (cygwin
or dos).

Having said that, upon further investigation in borland.jam there
appears to be a work around in place. When using CYGWIN a function is
defined to create a temporary batch file to execute the tlib command.

First off this work around is not activated on my system because cygwin
is reported as NT CYGWIN and not CYGWIN and secondly when the function
is activated the batch file does not work.

I can't get tlib to work in any configuration with the previously
mentioned directory structure so I don't think it is a shell related
issue.

I can think of only two solutions to this problem:

1. execute tlib from with in the lib directory (maybe this is what the
batch file is trying to achieve) - currently what I am doing!

2. change the directory structure so there is no dash, which I would
love to know how to do for other reasons.

I am sort of hoping though that there is an even simpler solution, i.e.
it already works and I have missed the obvious:-)

Is this a real problem?

Thanks for any help
