[BGL] build problems

Dear all,

I'm a bjam newbie trying to build the BGL in boost 1.30.0 on a DEC 
Alpha running linux. However, the build process is failing to 
generate the graphviz parser and lexer:

$ cd libs/graph/build
$ bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc"
...found 437 targets...
...using 2 temp targets...
...updating 3 targets...
...using 
<libs!graph!build/liblibbgl-viz.a/gcc/debug/inlining-on/runtime-link-dynamic>graphviz_graph_lex.o...
...using 
<libs!graph!build/liblibbgl-viz.a/gcc/debug/inlining-on/runtime-link-dynamic>graphviz_digraph_lex.o...
gcc-C++-action 
../../../libs/graph/build/bin/liblibbgl-viz.a/gcc/debug/inlining-on/runtime-link-dynamic/graphviz_graph_parser.o
graphviz_parser.y:44:2: #error Need to define the GRAPHVIZ_GRAPH 
macro to either GraphvizGraph or GraphvizDigraph.
graphviz_parser.y:61: error: `GRAPHVIZ_GRAPH' was not declared in 
this scope
graphviz_parser.y:61: error: template argument 1 is invalid

graphviz_parser.y:62: error: `GRAPHVIZ_GRAPH' was not declared in 
this scope
graphviz_parser.y:62: error: template argument 1 is invalid
graphviz_parser.y:62: error: syntax error before `;' token
graphviz_parser.y:63: error: syntax error before `;' token
[snip]

This all seems very reasonable, but I do not know how to resolve the 
problem. I see that Jamfile.v2 has explicit rules to build 
graphviz_graph_lex.o, graphviz_digraph_lex.o, setting GRAPHVIZ_GRAPH 
appropriately. However, my version of bjam (3.1.4) does not 
understand Jamfile.v2 and I lack the knowledge to do the equivalent 
in Jamfile.

I did try to append some rules to the Jamfile(see below), but 
unsurprisingly without success.

Could anyone provide me with pointers on how to proceed?

Kind regards,
Angus
