5) Finally, I have a comment specific to the Boost version of Jam. Boost Jam uses alloca(), which is not portable.

The alloca call comes from bison, which is the only parser generator I have on my machine. The best I can sugest is to regenerate the parser yourself using yacc. The build process does this, but only after it has bootstrapped Jam0.

Hmm, I wonder if I can ship the perforce version of the parser files for bootstrapping purposes...

I don't always pay attention to this list. Please post messages regarding Boost.Jam to boo...@yahoogroups.com or jamb...@yahoogroups.com
