Boost-Build :

Hi all,

 

I'm new to bjam, so need some help!

 

I have files in the project with .y and .C (capital C) extensions and
when I try to do the build, I get the errors like this:

 

error: target { date_text2triple.y. } has no type

 

 

I can make it build by adding workarounds, i.e. adding the line to
Jamroot:

 

type.register CPP_ : C : CPP ;

 

Or copying Yacc rules from Jambase file for .y files.

 

What I don't understand - looking at Jambase, the rule Object should
handle both file types automatically.

I also added printouts in all rules in Jambase and found that only a few
rules are used (i.e. boost-build and

find-to-root), but the rest isn't.

 

Why doesn't bjam recognize these file types? What am I doing wrong?

 

 

Best Regards

Alex Khassapov
