Re: [Boost-build] bbv1: path-global not working with relative paths?

I still was not able to find out what is going wrong.

But I found a work around:

In Jamrules I write

rule make-absolute-path
{
         return [ tokens-to-simple-path [ split-path [ PWD ] ] [ 
split-path $(<) ] ] ;
}

path-global BOOST_ROOT : [ make-absolute-path ../boost/thread_rewrite ] ;
project boost : $(BOOST_ROOT) ;

Perhaps it isn't worth the effort to find the "bug". Al tough I am 
wondering whether this is working in bbv2?
