Thread: Problem building jam_src on win32 with latest nightly build




Problem building jam_src on win32 with latest nightly build

Hello all,

I got the latest nightly build (timestamp Tue Jun 12
17:34:40 MSD 2007) and
I can't build bjam on win32.
When I go into boost-buildjam_src and run build.bat on a
dos box, I get the
following:

D:Tempboost-buildjam_src>build.bat
Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
x86 tools.
UtilitiesBinx86";c:cygwinbin;[rest of my path goes
here]" was
unexpected at this time.

My path starts as follows:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft DirectX SDK (August
2006)UtilitiesBinx86";c:cygwinbin;[rest of my path
goes here]

I think build.bat gets confused with the brackets of the
DirectX SDK part of
the path, i.e. the "(August 2006)" bit.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Cheers,
Kos.

Hm, that would be because build.bat quotes all arguments to
allow for 
spaces and other batch special chars.

There is no need to have quotes inside the path, remove
them. If the 
DXSDK installer added that path, complain to Microsoft that
they are 
breaking their own software.
