Nope, it does not work with Boost.Build, because its Cross Builder's grammar and concepts are quite different.
For instance, you can have per-directory/file settings, which I don't think it's possible for Boost.build.
What do you mean?!
Sorry for being unclear.
What I mean is : in your case (to my understanding), you specify properties in a jamfile.
But, a jamfile automatically specifies a project.
I don't understand you still. What's "automatically" and what's "specifies a project".
Which means that in order to specify some properties, you need to automatically create a project.
I'm completely lost. "need to automatically create" makes no sense. I either need to do something or something is done automatically.
For Cross Builder, this is not so. You can specify per-directory settings, even if that directory is *not part of any project*.
Could you clarify what's "part of any project". It seems to be that the only difference in Cross Builder is that I don't need to place a file to directory.
The will simply propagate to their subdirectories/files.
Also, in Cross Builder, there is no project root. Every directory simply inherits all settings from its parent directories.
The same in Boost.Build. You just can mark a project root which does not inherit settings. - Volodya
