Vladimir,

boost 1.59

libs/asio/test/Jamfile.v2
line 16
( this is the important one, though there are at least a dozen others in various other asio test files)

libs/context/build/Jamfile.v2
line 47 and 65

libs/iostreams/build/Jamfile.v2
line 58 and 125

libs/threads/build/Jamfile.v2
line 142 in default_threadapi

Many thanks,

Brian

Brian,

There is no mechanism to implicitly get properties. Could you point at some places you are trying to fix - maybe those permit special treatment?

I'm trying to find a replacement for

if [ os.name<http://os.name> ] = NT

using

<target-os>windows

but all the equivalents seem to use

if <target-os>windows in $(properties)

where 'properties' is passed in as parameter.
Is there simpler syntax that doesn't require a property set ?

There is no such toolset as gcc-cygwin.  The
only way to get this is if someone puts

using gcc : cygwin ;

in a Jamfile.

The correct way to identify this is
<toolset>gcc,<target-os>cygwin, or
perhaps just <target-os>cygwin.
