Hi all,
as most of my colleagues insist on using Visual Studio, I have made a
vcproj-wrapper around Boost.Build v1 for 1.33.1. The Jamfile looks
like this:
<Jamfile>
project-root ;
BOOST_LOCAL_STAGE_DIR ?= stage ;
rule Pseudo ( target : libname : kind : variant : name_prefix ? )
{
LIBNAME = $(libname) ;
LIBKIND = $(kind) ;
VARIANT = $(variant) ;
REALNAME = $(name_prefix)$(LIBNAME) ;
REALNAME ?= $(LIBNAME) ;
NOTFILE $(target) ;
DEPENDS $(target) : $(BOOST_LOCAL_STAGE_DIR)/$(LIBKIND)/$(LIBNAME)/$(VARIANT) ;
stage $(BOOST_LOCAL_STAGE_DIR)/$(LIBKIND)/$(LIBNAME)/$(VARIANT)
:
<$(LIBKIND)>@boost/libs/$(LIBNAME)/build/boost_$(REALNAME)
:
<sysinclude>../../../boost
<debug-symbols>on
<debug-store>database
<runtime-build>$(VARIANT)
<runtime-link>dynamic
on
:
$(VARIANT)
;
}
Pseudo signals_lib_debug
: signals
: lib
: debug
;
Pseudo signals_lib_release
: signals
: lib
: release
;
</Jamfile>
Furthermore I've created a Jamrules and a boost-build.jam like
follows:
<Jamrules>
project boost : ../../../boost ;
</Jamrules>
boost-build ../../../boost/tools/build/v1 ;
From my vcproj-files I can then just invoke bjam with the appropriate
target and TOOLS-spec.
1) Unfortunately this doesn't work any longer with Boost.Build v2.
After changing boost-build.jam in the obvious way, I just get bjam
to display:
error: Could not find parent for project at '.'
error: Did not find Jamfile or project-root.jam in any parent directory.
although the Jamfile is definitely there. The same thing happens,
when I change the name to Jamfile.v2.
2) Skimming over the docs, I don't see Jamrules (which was previously
needed) mentioned. Is it still necessary?
3) Finally, the build wrapper needs to be selfcontained (we get it
from our repository), so site-config.jam and user-config.jam must
not be mandatory. I just wonder, where to specify my 'using'
rule(s) (like 'using msvc : 8.0 ;').
TIA,
aa
