I don't have a problem with the move; there would probably still need to be two library objects (even though there are no dependencies between the object files for graph and graph_parallel, just the headers), but we can put them in the same source tree and merge the docs. Are there any bjam issues with subdirectories in library directories? The redirect issue is fixed, but the new directory name is graph_parallel.
Since Jamfile is in the 'build' subdirectory your Jamfile won't be implicitly included in its project so I think it'll be okay. If a library has a sub-library we indicate it by putting a file called 'sublibs' in its directory. I think its main purpose is to indicate that the test results should be separate, although it might have other uses. Btw I didn't mean to suggest that there's any urgency to this change, if some time is needed to get cmake working, that's fine in my opinion.
I don't know how to get CMake working, and last time I asked him Doug said it wasn't possible. Doing the move otherwise wouldn't be too hard once we come to a firm decision on it.
Everybody can easily guess my opinion, but let me state it none the less. I do not think that technical limitation (whether perceived, or by-design, or implementation complexity) of any random build system should be considered a good reason to deviate from directory structure set forth in boost library requirements.
I have no problem with that. Have we come to a decision that we should do the move? If so, I'll do it (though it may not be until after the holidays). -- Jeremiah Willcock
