Hi, many thanks for your help. Rene Rivera wrote:

Hm, for 1.33 I see a "stage" target in the signals/build/Jamfile.

You are right. What doesn't fit my use case is that, at least I believe so, I can't specify the destination directory there. It always copies the binaries to toplevel/stage/lib. My statement was misleading here, sorry.

Similarly for BBv1 it's:

stage my_stage : <dll>@boost/libs/signals/build/boost_signals <lib>@boost/libs/signals/build/boost_signals ;

It requires that you add definition of "boost" to your Jamrules file:

project boost : _path_to_boost_ ;

Aah, that's exactly what I needed to get started. With a bit of additional boilerplate it does what I want. cheers, aa -- Andreas Ames | Programmer | Comergo GmbH | Voice: +49 69 7505 3213 | andreas . ames AT comergo . com
