[boost] Regression tests on Cray

[Matthias Troyer]

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
< boost_root=$HOME/CVSROOTs/Boost/boost_regression
---
> boost_root=$HOME/boost
35c35
< test_tools=gcc
---
> test_tools=cray
42c42
< toolset=gcc
---
> toolset=cray
96c96
< if test $cvs_update == yes ; then
---
> if test $cvs_update = yes ; then
113c113
< LOCATE_TARGET=bin sh ./build.sh
---
> LOCATE_TARGET=bin sh ./build.sh cc
150c150
< cat regress.log | $process_jam_log
---
> cat regress.log | $process_jam_log $boost_root


The fourth change:

test $cvs_update == yes ---> test $cvs_update = yes

seems to be needed for all platform, although the GNU version of test actually accepts == in addition to =

The fifth change is needed, to use the cc toolset instead of gcc. 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?

Best regards,

Matthias
