Hi,

Using Visual Studio, it is possible to 'Ignore Specific Library'
(Project Properties>Configuration Properties>Linker>Input>Ignore
Specific Library).

We have found this a useful feature in a project. Now we want to build
the project using bjam, but we need to reproduce that linker behaviour.

Is there any ignore <library> feature?
    

Could you clarify what that option does in Visual Studio, what command line
option does it correspond to, 

/NODEFAULTLIB:"<library>"

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3tz4da4a%28VS.80%29.aspx

and how do you want Boost.Build support of
that option to behave?
  

I just want boost.build to pass that to the linker, although I am sure this is not portable.

Have I just answered my own question? Can I simply add my own statements to the linker command line with bjam?

Thanks

Simon
