Yes. These would be set in the user-settings or site-settings and would
apply to all sub-projects in the build.

I didn't know about the --help flag. It looks like there is a lot of doc.
available from the --help flag that is not in the "official" boost-build
user guide.
It would be usefull to stress that fact out. Anyway, thks for the fast answers.

&gt; 1) How do you specify a system include directory for all projects.

user-settings.jam ?<br><br>
There's no such way at the moment. Do you mean that those global includes

Yes. These would be set in the user-settings or site-settings and would

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>&gt; 2) I have multiple
installation of msvc (6sp5, 7, 7.1), how do I specify<br>
&gt; which to use ?<br><br>
You can write ;<br><br>
<x-tab>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</x-tab>using msvc
: 6.5 ;<br>
<x-tab>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</x-tab>using msvc
: 7.1 ;<br><br>
and they run<br><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; bjam msvc-6.5 ;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; bjam msvc-7.1 ;<br><br>
You can actually run <br><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; bjam --help msvc.init <br><br>
to find out all parameter you can pass to using, though the output
currently <br>
is not pretty. The comments in &quot;msvc.jam&quot; should be documenting
everything.<br><br>
