Good to hear ;-)

This clarifies things. But I think I should be able to
use <library>@/libx or <depedency>@/libx, shouldn't I ?

Great. I feared the I composed the test for good.

Well, the docs ("tools/build/boost_build_v2.html" only state:

| When linking the "app" binary,the needed library will be used. But
| what is meant by "needed"?"

The following section describes how the "usage-requirements" work. It
simply does not say anything about building your own libraries. So I
thought bjam would do some magic by simply using "use-project". Well,
I was wrong. And the <depedency> rule is not mentioned there.

Are there more docs available ? I would like to learn more about the
bjam internals. Can you drop me a link (or two) where to start
looking ?

Confirmed. Works for me. Well, using the same QTDIR is a necessary
requirement.

Thanks for your help !

Yours,

Jürgen
