Sod's law dictates that one minute after crying for
help
on a mailing list you'll work out the answer
yourself...
<library-file>
But... the reason I had so much trouble is because
on
NT/MSVC the build system creates a .CMD file for
the
linker... and if the link fails the .CMD file is
left behind...
you then patch your jamfile, but the .CMD isn't
recreated,
it just uses the old one... so if you don't know or
forget
to delete the .CMD file you'll never know if your
patch
to the jamfile made any difference.

Subject: [boost] jam - exe rule
I'm trying to reuse the boost build system for my
own project.
I've managed to get some libraries built and am
linking them
into an exe... but I have a .lib not built by my
system that I
also want to link in. How do I do this?
I tried this, where xxx.lib is the library I want
to link in...
exe foo : foo.cpp <lib>../baz
xxx.lib
And, I tried various combinations of
LinkLibraries, NEEDLIBS,
and LINKSLIBS... and i'm just flailing about. Is
this just not
supported, or am I just being dumb?
