A simple test setup to illustrate build problems.

Configuration

After checkout the Boost release archives need to be extracted into the external/ folder. The project has been tested with the following versions of Boost:

• 1.57.0
• 1.58.0
• 1.59.0.b1

The Boost version used can be changed by editing the paths in Jamroot. Currently the last release (1.58.0) is selected.

There are two projects that can be built in test/Jamfile:

• test:
  This project builds with all Boost versions tested and works as expected.
• fail:
  This configuration fails to build with Boost 1.58 or newer. The only change is the order of the project dependencies.

Changes in Boost.Log between 1.57 and 1.58

Andrey Semashev pointed out that between 1.57 and 1.58 the only change of the Boost.Log build system was the switch to Boost.Config.
