I have this rule in Jamroot (on top of projects) :
constant JAMROOT : $(__name__) ;

actions transform-script
{
        sed "s_at_PREFIX@$(INSTALL_PATH)@g" $(>) | sed "s_at_NAME@$(DAEMON_NAME)@g" > $(<)
        chmod a+x $(<)
}

actions transform-conf
{
        cp $(>) $(<)
}

rule your-install ( DAEMON_NAME2 )
{
        install install-bin : $(DAEMON_NAME) : <location>$(INSTALL_PATH)/bin ;
        make $(INSTALL_PATH)/conf/$(DAEMON_NAME).conf.sample : ../../conf/$(DAEMON_NAME).conf : @$(JAMROOT).transform-conf ;
        make $(INSTALL_PATH)/scripts/$(DAEMON_NAME).sample : ../../scripts/rc_script.freebsd : @$(JAMROOT).transform-script ;
}

Also I have rule invocation in Jamfile of subproject search_retriever:

modules.poke $(JAMROOT) : DAEMON_NAME : search_retriever ;
your-install search_retriever2 ;
explicit search_retriever2 ;

When I execute command "bjam" in directory search_retriever (I want only compilation, not installing),
the installation also take place.

If I comment lines
#modules.poke $(JAMROOT) : DAEMON_NAME : search_retriever ;
#your-install search_retriever2 ;
#explicit search_retriever2 ;

and run bjam my subproject search_retriever is only compiled without invocation of your-install rule.
