I want to switch to jam for building our projects and I was wondering how to handle building boost within those projects. Will "subinclude boost" from the directory above it work? Or will I have to use bjam on the boost tree (like a recursive make)?
Thanks in advance,
In Boost.Build V2, using boost from your project is a simple matter of saying something like: use /boost/filesystem : $(BOOST_ROOT)/libs/filesystem/build ; exe foo : foo.cpp /boost/filesystem//boost_filesystem ; This will even automatically add boost includes when compiling foo.cpp. As for V1, I'm not sure. I suggest that you take a look at the list of toolsets supported by V2 at: http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/tools.html If yours is listed, you might want to just try V2. - Volodya
