Dear Boosters,
Since we got to work jam on the Cray, found an optimizer bug when
compiling regex with -O3 that we will report to Cray and got regex to
compile at -O2, I am now running the regression tests.
While they are running I want to ask a question about building and post
a patch/question about running the rgeression tests.
First the (maybe stupid) question: how can I disable the building of
shared libraries when using bjam? Shared libraries do not seem to exist
on the vector-Crays and I would like to disable them, instead of
getting build failures.
Next, the changes I had to make to boost/tools/regression/run_tests.sh.
Besides the obvious toolset and path changes (the first three), I had
to make three more changes:
diff -r1.3 run_tests.sh
18c18

Is there an easy way to specify that without changing the shell script? Finally, I wonder why I need the sixth change. How does this work on other platforms? Is there an easier fix?
