Thanks for the reply. I have read through the tutorial before but I still must be missing it.
Based on this:
exe main : file.c ;
I understand I can do:
bjam main
and it will build file.obj and main.exe
however, I want to only build file.obj from the command line. How do I do that?
bjam file does not work unless I explicitly add a:
obj file : file.c ;
exe main : file ;
But this is not practical to do all over the place. I just want a quick command line option to build/rebuild only an obj from the command line:
Maybe something like:
bjam main..file ??
Thanks,
Chris
