Subject:[jamming] jam on Solaris and install rule

I've encountered a problem with the Install rule when moving from Linux to Solaris. This is using an unmodified Jambase. For both of these platforms, Jambase uses the "install" executable to perform installs. However, the Linux (GNU) "install" has the source and destination arguments in a different order than the Solaris "install". Jam expects the GNU convention, and breaks under Solaris. Has anyone else encountered this?

My current fix is to define the INSTALL variable for Solaris to point at a local shell script that swaps the arguments.

Thanks,

John Panzer
