Hi all - I'm trying out boost-build for the first time, and running into some issues related to project dependencies. I've spent many hours looking at boost-build documentation, and now I'm stuck. My directory structure is laid out like this: -------------------------------------------- base_dir Jamroot simp_envelopes Jamfile ***source*** simp_envelopes ***include files*** my_lib Jamfile ***source*** include ***include files*** test Jamfile tester.cc --------------------------------------------- Basically, my_lib depends on simp_envelopes and test depends on my_lib. In simp_envelopes/Jamfile I have this: ------------ project simplify-libs : usage-requirements <include>simp_envelopes ; lib simplify : [ glob *.cc ] : <include>simp_envelopes ; ------------ which I believe should tell my_libs to include simp_envelopes/simp_envelopes, if only my_libs can know that it should depend on the simp_envelopes project. My Jamroot looks like: ------------ use-project simplify-libs : simp_envelopes ; use-project my-libs : my_libs ; project my_app : requirements <include>.. <include>../SGUL/include : default-build debug ; lib open-mesh : : <file>../OpenMesh/Core/Linux_gcc_max/libOpenMesh_Core.so ; build-project simp_envelopes ; build-project my_libs ; build-project test ; ------------ My my_libs Jamfile: ------------ project my_libs : requirements <include>../simp_envelopes : usage-requirements <include>include ; lib my_libs : [ glob *.cc ] /simplify-libs//simplify : <include>include ; ------------- I had to add the requirements <include>../simp_envelopes for my_libs to find the include files for simp_envelopes... is there a way to get my_libs to depend on simp_envelopes (or simplify-libs) and take care of this automatically? I have similar issues for the test app... I need to at a requirements for the my_libs include directory. Finally, I have defined a library name open-mesh to point to my external library, but I don't know how to have my my_libs essentially require linking against open-mesh. This is in fact even more important because I don't currently have a way of making my application build rule depend on open-mesh. Any help is appreciated! Brian
