with the jamfile which I posted previously: ------------------------------- install ../bin : hello test.hello ; lib hello : hello.cpp : <include>../include : <define>HELLODLL <define>WIN32 : <link>shared ; exe test.hello : test.hello.cpp .//hello : <define>WIN32 : <include>../include ; ------------------------------- Everything compiles and links fine. However I have to manually copy the test.hello.manifest from bin/msvc-8.0/debug/ to ../bin Is there a way to fix this? ---------------------------- also when I try to create the relase copy by typing "bjam release" the macros are not correctly defined, there are no exports in hello.lib, and the whole process fails. How do I get this to compile and link correctly for release mode? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
