Based on the following example: borland/<runtime-link>static located at: http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2.reference.commandline.html I tried the following: bjam --v2 gcc/\<link-runtime\>static error: Unable to find file or target named error: 'gcc/<link-runtime>static' error: referred from project at error: '.' I also tried <runtime-link> without success. I guessed <link-runtime> from looking at: tools/build/v2/tools/gcc.jam which contains: flags gcc.link OPTIONS <link-runtime>static : -static ; What am I doing wrong? TIA. Regards, Larry
