Hi
This is the answer to my earlier post, where I asked if there was any additional feature that would skip tests specifically designated as <link>shared. I was a little annoyed that
cd status
../b2 link=static
did not do this.
In my case I have some processor configurations where VxWorks does not support shared libraries, and every test with a shared link will fail. So I'd like to skip those tests.
My solution was to add a feature to my
project-config.jam
feature.feature static-only
: on
: optional composite propagated
;
feature.compose <static-only>on
: <link>static
;
project : requirements <static-only>on,<link>shared:<build>no ;
Then
./b2 static-only=on
Does what I need.
