Hi all,

I'm trying to implement rules for bjam to install my current project but I can't get bjam to execute the 'actions' statement that I defined in my Jamfile. Following is an example code that I can't get it to run.

ECHO_ ?= echo ;

rule COUT
{
COUT_ $(<) ;
}

actions COUT_
{
$(ECHO_) $(<)
}

rule my_rules
{
DEPENDS $(<) : $(>) ;
COUT $(>) ;
}

rule make_rule
{
exe $(<)$(SUFEXE) : $(>) ;
LINKLIBS on $(<)$(SUFEXE) = -lm ;
my_rules $(<) : hello world ;
}

make_rule testit : test.cc ;

I used print statements and find that bjam runs up to the rule COUT, but it doesn't seem to recognize the action COUT_. Am I missing something here?

Thanks,
Charles
