In Jamroot: using gcc : 4.4 : g++-4 ; exe example_basic : example_basic.cpp : <include>. ;
The <include>. line, as I understand it will mean the #include <blah> that I use will pick up stuff in the same directory as the source file (this seems ok).
My problem is the link stage,
$ bjam example_basic ...found 53 targets... ...updating 1 target... gcc.link bin/gcc-4.4/debug/example_basic /usr/bin/ld: unknown flag: --start-group collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

...failed gcc.link bin/gcc-4.4/debug/example_basic...
I've no idea where all this --start-group stuff comes from -- never seen it before.
What does g++ --version say? In Christ, Steven Watanabe

It sayeth various things, the default Apple vended compiler is: $ g++ --version i686-apple-darwin8-g++-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5370) Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Bingo! Thanks! That works fine for the default darwin setup, however when I want to use g++-4 (which I would like to for testing purposes), the following doesn't work in the Jamfile using darwin : 4.4 : g++-4 ; bjam then returns with... darwin.compile.c++ bin/darwin-4.4/debug/example_basic.o g++-4: unrecognized option '-no-cpp-precomp' presumably I need to just tweak some sort of configuration file.

All the toolsets are defined in tools/build/v2/tools/<toolset name>.jam Since g++-4 is a standard gcc distribution, but uses Apple's linker try using gcc : 4.4 : g++-4 : <linker-type>darwin ; The linker-type is deduced automatically for most cases. I don't know why it isn't for darwin. In Christ, Steven Watanabe

Thanks for that -- now I know where to look I feel empowered... So far so working! ;-) -ed
