Description Benedikt Reinartz 2007-10-29 21:31:17 UTC

bjam doesn't stop when it fails a build but compiles until the end (it does return an errorcode though).

It would have a more make-like (and developer friendly) behaviour with the -q flag. From bjam --help:
"  * -q Stop at first error"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge boost (so that it fails somewhere ;))
2. Have fun finding the failing part

That's a pretty good idea. Added to the ebuild without revision bump.
Cheers.
