Hi,<div><br></div><div>Sorry if this is not the correct forum for this question.</div><div><br></div><div>User manual (userman.pdf) that comes with the boost.build package mentions (pg 43) that compileflags feature can be used to specify &quot;additional compiler flags that will be used when compiling both C and C++ sources.&quot;.</div>
<div><br></div><div>But when I tried to use the following syntax in Jamroot file:</div><div>&lt;target-os&gt;windows:&lt;compileflags&gt;/Fo:&quot;Win32\\Debug&quot; &lt;address-model&gt;32 &lt;variant&gt;debug</div><div>
<br></div><div>I got an error message:</div><div>error: unknown feature &quot;&lt;compileflags&gt;&quot;</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://lists.boost.org/boost-build/2007/03/16244.php">This post</a> refers that compileflags is not a feature, if so, why is it listed in the user manual along with the other features?<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>E.g. I am using linkflags feature and it works fine.</div><div><br></div><div>Can you please help me know how can I provide additional compiler flags to msvc compiler if those are not supported thru msvc.jam?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I want to override the location of creation of .obj &amp; .pdf file and also want to use some additional complier optimization flags for release.</div><div><br></div><div>Since, &lt;compileflags&gt; is not working (or not supported), how can we provide these flags?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks for your help.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
