Re: Question about SHELL command

Rene,

Thank you for your reply.  I downloaded and reviewed
the documentation for "Boost.Jam  Version 3.1.14".


Boost.Jam 3.1.14 documentation (thanks Rene) says:
 rule SHELL ( command : * )

Boost Build 2 documentation (thanks Vladimir) says:
 local gtk_includes = [ SHELL "gtk-config
--cflags" ]
;

I tried both:
 WXFLAGS = SHELL("wx-config --cppflags") ;
 local WXFLAGS  = [ SHELL "wx-config --cppflags" ]
;

But neither worked.  Am I doing something wrong?  I am
using "Boost.Jam  Version 3.1.13"

Thank you,

Chris

Hm, the equivalent seems to work just fine on my Ubuntu
machine all the 
way back to bjam 3.1.11:

====
grafikdroid:~$ cat config.jam
local conf = [ SHELL "libpng-config --cflags" ] ;
ECHO --- _$(conf)_ ;

grafikdroid:~$ bjam-3.1.11 -f config.jam
--- _-I/usr/include/libpng12
  _
don't know how to make all
...found 1 target...
...can't find 1 target...
grafikdroid:~$ bjam-3.1.12 -f config.jam
--- _-I/usr/include/libpng12
_
don't know how to make all
...found 1 target...
...can't find 1 target...
grafikdroid:~$ bjam-3.1.13 -f config.jam
--- _-I/usr/include/libpng12
_
don't know how to make all
...found 1 target...
...can't find 1 target...
grafikdroid:~$ bjam-3.1.14 -f config.jam
--- _-I/usr/include/libpng12
_
don't know how to make all
...found 1 target...
...can't find 1 target...
grafikdroid:~$

Do you get correct output if you run the wx-config command
directly?
