I'm not the right person to tell BB developers what their responsibility is, but I believe providing a more neutral way to access required compiler flags for easy integration into *any* build system would be very much appreciated by everybody.
I see your point. I guess once you're dealing with a particular prebuilt file, there's little need for a platform-/compiler-neutral description of how it was built.
my understanding of this whole thread so far is that indeed there is such a need.
Reread what I wrote. I believe there's a need for a description, but a compiler- and platform- neutral abstract description (which a Jamfile is) is not as useful as one that just gives concrete information about how the actual target was -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
