Of course I can write a cpp program that uses std::system to execute those commands but I was wondering if there was a more direct way to do it.
That would be the way. You can pass input files to the `run` rule: run my_cmake_test.cpp : : myfile1 myfile2 ; (https://boostorg.github.io/build/manual/develop/index.html#bbv2.builtins.tes...) If these are targets, they will refer to files in the bindir; if not, to source dir. Relative paths are relative to the current Jamfile. I'm not sure if you could do run my_cmake_test.cpp : : my_cmake_test ; to obtain a path to my_cmake_test.exe though. It would probably be easier to infer the directory corresponding to where the test executable is placed from argv[0] (but I haven't tried that this works.) If not, you could perhaps use a dummy obj target obj cmake_test_obj : cmake_test_source.cpp ; and then run my_cmake_test.cpp : : cmake_test_obj ;
