glob does not work on SVN work copies on Windows

[Kirill Lapshin]

I am just setting up new project, so could very well be I am doing something stupid.

Anyways, here it goes: on windows I have SVN work copy checked out with svn command line utility (and actually zipped and moved here from another machine, don't ask why).

My build is setup primitively: boost-build.jam has single line pointing to latest CVS checkout of boost.build v2 and Jamroot file reading:

lib util : [ glob * cpp ] ;

When I am trying to issue "bjam msvc" command I am getting following error:

error: Unable to find file or target named error: '.svn' error: referred from project at error: '.'

Seems to me since .svn is a hidden directory, globbing finds it, but some other code does not and barfs.

Should you have more questions don't hesitate to mail me at [ kir at lapshin dot net ]

My bad, the right syntax was supposed to be [ glob *.cpp ], still I think there is a bug so I'll live the ticket open.

The reason I've used the wrong syntax is because this is the one advertised on official Wiki:

​http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?Boost.Build_V2/GettingStarted

I was going to fix Wiki page, but then decided I am not knowledgeable enough. Who knowns maybe the one given on Wiki page is also legitimiate?

The error you see if in fact accurate -- ".svn" is a folder, or it's neither a file nor target name. So, closing this issue. I've also fixed the Wiki page.
