Second, it will possible to specify external dependencies in user-config.jam, or any other configuration file. This approach is slightly more complicated, as one has to edit a config file, but retains configuration and permits to specify multiple configuration for an external dependency -- which is not possible using environment variables. Roughly, the syntax will be:
using zlib : condition<target-os>windows : include-path whatever : library-path something-else ;
The 'condition' parameter specifies when this declaration will be picked up. Other parameters mirror the environment variables above.
Since this is the replacement for the external library support extension I have.. I have one question.. Where would support for configuring the "variation" (i.e. what settings to use when the library/ies are used) fit in the above? Or is the above only for pre-built libraries? -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail
