Hi.

 

In documenation write what alias rule may be used for change build properties, but next code fail after command "bjam a_p a_r":

 

lib a.lib : a.cpp ;

alias a_p.lib : a.lib : <variant>profile ;
alias a_r.lib : a.lib : <variant>release ;

install a_p : a_p.lib : <location>. ;
install a_r : a_r.lib : <location>. ;

 

with message

Origianl task is to install target with several build properties in own location. How I can change code for that task?

And is it possible to disable build a.lib directly (whitout properties)?
