Jam: Building libraries that use the static runtime library

I need to build libraries that link against the static runtime library: I tried the following Jam invocation: jam -sBOOST_ROOT=. -sTOOLS="msvc-stlport" -sBUILD="debug release <runtime-link>static" But jam balks and reports: Error: libboost_python_static: target requirements conflict for requested build { <runtime-link>dynamic <target-type>LIB <runtime-link>static } Help! So, I've obviously got it wrong (btw I'm not interested in building python library just threads and regex). TIA. - Dale.
