Hi all,

I have a project with a dozen sub-projects, with a jamroot under the root and jamfile under each sub-project.

Most sub-projects have a “stage” target which copied the files to a location. But not all have this target. In order to run “stage” at the top, I have to define:

alias stage : sub1//stage sub2//stage … ;

Is it possible to look into the jamfile of a subproject and put it into this alias programmatically?

You will likely have to get the latest BBv2 from develop branch for this to work.. You can do something like this:

===

import project ;

local sub1-module = [ project.find sub1 : $(__file__:D) ] ;

local sub1-target = [ project.target $(sub1-module) ] ;

if [ $(sub1-target).has-alternative-for-target stage ]

{

# "stage" is declared in project.. do something..

}

===

Obviously put in a loop and/or local rule to avoid copy/paste ;-)

HTH.
