Hi, Is there a way of specifying the boost-build dir in the top-level Jamfile of a project?
It seems like it can only be done in the boost-build.jam file
It's better than the previous kludge of specifying an environment variable.
Why is it better? An environment variable seems easier, unless you have two installations of Boost.Build.
It's better because you can drop a "build" directory to your project, and put
boost-build build ;
to the boost-build.jam file. It will work without having all users of the software download Boost.Build and set environment variable.
OTOH, environment variable is better if you have many projects using Boost.Build, and all users have Boost.Build already installed.
Okay, thanks.
