hi, sorry if this is a really dumb question, but is bjam supposed to be useable to build things *with* boost as well as building boost itself?
Yep.
I can't spot the info on how to start that in the Boost.Build docs. Setting the path to the boost headers and the built boost libraries is what I'm stumbling over.
Use the <include> and <sysinclude> features to specify #include "" and #include<> paths. Use <library-path> to specify library search paths, and <find-library> to specify built libraries. You might look at the contents of http://www.boost.org/libs/python/example/project.zip for an example. Some narrative text about that file can be found at: http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/building.html We know, the docs are a bit thin so far, sorry! -- David Abrahams dave@boost-consulting.com * http://www.boost-consulting.com Boost support, enhancements, training, and commercial distribution
