Hi,<br><br>I&#39;m trying to replace my current build system with Boost.build. Very simply, my directory structure looks like this:<br><br>/Jamroot<br>/src<br>/src/Jamfile<br>/src/project1<br>/src/project1/Jamfile<br>/src/project1/*.cpp
<br>/src/project2<br>/src/project2/Jamfile<br>/src/project2/*.cpp<br><br>Now, project1 and project2 share some external libraries. So, according to the manual I should add them to site-config.jam like so:<br><br>import project ;
<br>project.initialize $(__name__) ;<br>project site-config ;<br>lib whatever : : &lt;name&gt;whatever : : &lt;include&gt;/usr/local/include/whatever ;<br><br>I put this site-config.jam in the same directory as Jamroot.<br>
<br>My issue is that references to site-config don&#39;t seem to work. So in /src/project1/Jamfile I have:<br><br>exe project1 : project1.cpp /site-config//whatever ;<br><br>but I get:<br><br>error: Unable to find file or target named
<br>error:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#39;/site-config//whatever&#39;<br>error: referred from project at<br>error:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#39;.&#39;<br><br>I also tried using a path-constant to refer to the top level directory. So, in Jamroot I have:<br><br>path-constant TOP : . ;
<br><br>and in /src/project1/Jamfile:<br><br>exe project1 : project1.cpp TOP/site-config//whatever ;<br><br>but that doesn&#39;t work either:<br><br>error: Unable to find file or target named<br>error:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#39;TOP/site-config//whatever&#39;
<br>error: referred from project at<br>error:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#39;.&#39;<br><br>How, should I be structuring this? I&#39;d like my external libraries to all be defined at the root of the project so they&#39;re easy to modify on different computers. I&#39;d also like to be able to run bjam in any subdirectory to just build what&#39;s in that directory and below. So, I need some way to import targets from the root directory.
<br><br>Thanks,<br>Avery<br>
