Hi, and thank you for this suggestion. I have had no prior experience with the Boost tools, and until this recent attempt to use the serialization lib, had never before heard of bjam, 'build systems', etc. I'm an old-fashioned makefile kind of guy; I might have some hope of succeeding with this effort if I were dealing with a familiar environment like that.
My management has encouraged and agreed with the decision to abandon my attempt to apply a third-party tool to this project. With that, and due to time constraints, I have moved on. If I should have occasion to try again in the future, and have the luxury of sufficient time to embark on the research needed to understand what you mean by a 'Build System', then I'll be more fortunate than I am currently.
You're welcome. Though it sounds like a case of NiH to me ;-) Best of luck. Sohail
