Well, when I said that the jam build isn't complete yet, I was simply
refering to the fact that there is no Jamfile in the rez-folder, just a
Makefile.
Talking about the rez-folder: funnily enough you can actually get CVS to
put it in the proper place if you do a checkout on pe_x86 (or pe_ppc)
instead of just pe. I actually have no idea why this is the case, most
probably because someone setup a link right in the CVS-repository (?)
When I first noticed this peculiarity, I was afraid that the repository
contained different pe-folders, but it doesn't.
When I was checking the jam build on my BeBox recently, I wrestled it into
a more or less working state. One problem that remains, however, is that I
couldn't convince jam to create the PPC-speciality called pe.headers (a
preprocessed header).
Jeez, I suppose I really should be reading those jam manuals...
cheers,
Oliver
