Hello Vladimir,

notation. More complex, but unlimately best approach is creating file third_party.jam, with the following content: project.initialize $(__name__) ; project third_party ; rule init ( name : library-path : include-path : defines * ) { lib third_party : # sources : # requirements <name>$(name) <search>$(library-path) : # default build : # usage requirements <include>$(include-path) <define>$(defines) ; } and add using third_party : .... ;
Thanks for the example on how to initialize standalone 3rd party projects. Base on the comments in project.jam I eventually figured out how to do it myself although slightly less elegant and without 'using'. I'm just wondering is there somewhere a cookbook style set of examples of how various things can be done using boost build (something beyond the included examples with boost build that is). I really like boost build, it solves a lot of problems for me out of the box which I previously had with other make replacements but the documentation is sometimes a bit brief. Also is there somewhere a document which gives an overview of some of the design ideas behind boost build? Thanks, Sebastian
