Hi Steven,
 Thanks.  I should be able to fix it using this info. However I have hit another, but somewhat related, roadblock.  Tried  the documentation but failed to find relevant snippets.

Using generators i have created these two custom rules
1) mp a : a.gp ;
            which converts a.gp to a.mp
2) mps a : a.mp
            which converts a.mp to a.mps

Invoking bjam complains "unable to find target a.mp".  The problem is that I am unable to specify that "a.mp is generated by rule 1".
In case i am missing something obvious please point me to relevant portion of the documentation.

Thanks
sandeep

  I am trying to roll out my own main target (essentially to create plots using gnuplots). The tutorial example/customization  was helpful and modifications at appropriate places does the required job.

However the output-file is generated on "bin/gcc-4.2/debug". How can I change this so that it outputs to plots/ subdirectory.

Use the <location> property.


My second concern is that bjam  executes the rule even if the end target is up-to-date. How to fix this.

bjam should only update targets that are out of date.
use
 bjam -d+12 ...
to see the dependency graph.

In Christ,
