Sorry for posting to the developer list. I intended it to go to jamboost but I did not manage to get through. I would be glad if someone could instruct me how to subscribe to the jamboost list.

If you follow http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#jamboost to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jamboost/ you should see instructions for joining the group.

I observed the following behaviour:

When building the library,

Which library?

files that are included by e.g. #include <<boost/config.hpp> obviously are not in the list of dependant files.

No, but they are supposed to be in the list of dependencies.

Consequently when one of such files has been edited no recompilation is beeing triggered.

That surprises me; it's not the usual behavior.

While this behaviour is fine with user programs it is unfortunate when compiling (and working) on the library itself.

We are all library developers here; that behavior would be unacceptable to a great number of Boost.Build users.

I even suspect that updating such files from sourceforege will render the following compile meaningless.

I tried this on windows with MSVC 7_1.

Any hints?

Look for a bin/.jamdeps file and delete it. That is a dependency cache and occasionally they become outdated. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
