Reply: Vladimir Prus: "Re: [Boost-build] Use of path-constant cygwin vs VSCommand Prompt"

I have the following Jamroot file below and I have been noticing a
difference between MSVC command prompt and Cygwin (gcc).

I have two questions with this post:

1) What is the dealy-o with path-constant where locals are involved in the
path and what is the difference (besides the obvious syntax difference
between ms and cygwin path/directory syntax)?

2) Why does bjam swap between use of cygwin paths and dos paths in the build
when in the cygwin environment building for toolset msvc

Help, as always, is greatly appreciated

So likely the issue is in the build-dir
: build-dir build/$(HOSTNAME)

as $(HOSTNAME) is a local not a path constant. Are locals allowed here? If
not can one convert from local to path-constant?

if I make the change:

#local HOSTNAME = [ modules.peek : HOSTNAME ] ;
path-constant HOSTNAME : hostname ;

It works, which is not what I want... but it works. Why the difference
between cygwin and msvc

=============================================================================

Now Question 2: In building in cygwin for msvc with:

-d+2 toolset=msvc target-os=windows debug

Why does bjam swap between use of cygwin paths and dos paths in the build

as in actions:

/out:"e:\projects\boost\MyNotes\BjamOrBSquare\ProjectX\source\3rdParty\Win32\boost\boost_1_38_0\bin.v2\libs\system\build\msvc-9.0express\debug\target-os-windows\threading-multi\boost_system-vc90-mt-gd-1_38.dll"

and in modules

'/cygdrive/e/projects/boost/MyNotes/BjamOrBSquare/ProjectX/source/3rdParty/Win32/boost/boost_1_38_0/bin.v2/libs/system/build/msvc-9.0express/debug/target-os-windows/threading-multi/error_code.obj';

It's half way there!
