I am working on a lib that is laid out in typical boost fashion: a directory with boost/rdb/includes.hpp, libs/rdb/src/stuff.cpp. When I put these two directories right inside a Boost tree that builds properly with bjam, I can build my libs as well (via chdir to libs/rdb/test and run bjam). I managed to get that much working.
Now I would like to build outside the boost tree. I have found this message:http://lists.boost.org/boost-build/2002/11/2221.php but the link it contains is broken. I have tried to locate the information in the doc for half an hour now, without success. I tried to set BOOST_BUILD_PATH AND BOOST_ROOT to point to the boost tree. And copied boost-build.jam to the root of my dir.
The boost-build.jam in the Boost distribution uses a relative path. You need to adjust it to point to the actual location of Boost.Build. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
