I am using Boost 1.67.0, and I just recently discovered a change in its behavior compared to previous versions. I am running unit tests, and these tests require a copy of a configuration file in the same directory as the running executable. To make that work, I added an explicit dependency to the unit-test target and an explicit target performs the copy, like so: unit-test ParliamentTest : [ glob $(SourceDir)/*.cpp ] list-of-libraries : <target-os>windows:<dependency>ParliamentConfig.txt : # default build : # usage requirements ; explicit ParliamentConfig.txt ; make ParliamentConfig.txt : $(SourceDir)/ParliamentConfig.txt : @common.copy ; In prior versions of Boost.Build, the copy would land in the same directory as the test executable, e.g., "<output-dir>/msvc-14.1/release/address-model-64/threading-multi/ParliamentConfig.txt", but in Boost 1.67.0 the copy lands in "<output-dir>". Is this change expected? How can I get back to the old behavior? Thanks, Ian _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: https://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-build
