To be exact, /boost/test//minimal and /boost/test//included
I must say this double / requirement is quite ummm.. obscure.
I obviously would prefer BB to deduce it somehow automatically, since it analyze header dependencies anyway.
To clarify, by "it" Gennadiy means that he wanted that Boost.Build detect that a source file includes Boost.Test headers, and automatically adds certain compiler options. And this is not a feature that appears as common as to warrant a special support, IMO.
Actually it might be quite generic problem. Depending on particular header in use you may want turn on/off optimization, threading, define some macro and add addditional compiler option (like in my case). On the other hand explicit dependency maybe usefull in a long term, so I guess it's ok. Gennadiy
