Boost.Jam Version 3.1.13. OS=LINUX.
Question:
How do I store the result of a shell command to a
variable?
Thank you,
Chris
PS: The following does not work:
# Jamfile
WXFLAGS = SHELL("wx-config --cppflags") ;
echo $(WXFLAGS) ;
$ jam
SHELL(wx-config --cppflags)
...found 7 targets...
$
I expected to see something that looked like this:
$ wx-config --cppflags
-I/usr/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-release-2.6
-I/usr/include/wx-2.6 -DGTK_NO_CHECK_CASTS -D__WXGTK__
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGE_FILES -DNO_GCC_PRAGMA
