Re: [Boost-users] Speed up bjam

      Is there a quicker alternative? Trouble is I've only just got to grips 
with jam files!

Seconded. I once tried using bjam to build on an even slower machine, and
never tried it again.

Hi,
Is there any way to make bjam only scan files for changes in the 
current working directory, rather than the whole boost installation? I 
hoped this would speed up the bjam build process. Everytime I do a 
build I get, for example:
...patience...
...patience...
...found 2982 targets...
...updating 6 targets...
Wouldn't be quicker if it wasn't checking 3000 files each build? its a 
very slow machine you see! 900 MHZ!
Thanks
Simon
