I have a library that depends on boost and is built with bjam.

It puts sepearate targets in $(BAYES_ROOT)/target/bin/libBayesFilter.a/gcc/release/runtime-link-dynamic/libBayesFilter.a and the other debug directory as well.

I am also working on a library using the same system that must link with libBayesFilter.

My question is, how do I specify the library dependency on BayesFilter properly without having to specify the complete path to the target directory (which will change depending on the build features specified).

I tried <lib>$(BAYES_ROOT)/BayesFilter/BayesFilter

but it dies with:

unknown dependent target libBayesFilter.a

Am i missing something?

Hi Stephen, Boost.Build v1 doesn't support cross-project build dependencies. If you bring your question to the jamboost list at yahoogroups (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jamboost/ or news://gmane.comp.lib.boost.build) we'll be pleased to try and help you there!
