I have solved this problem as follows:

import modules ;

modules.load my-tool : : /path/to/file ;

Dear All,

I have created a custom tool which I have copied directly into the $(BOOST_BUILD_PATH)/tools directory and everything works fine.  However, I would like to install this tools into an arbitrary directory.  I have tried "import /path/to/file/my-tool ;" but this doesn't work.

Could anybody tell me how this can be done?

Thanks in advance.
