Hi,

If I do something like <linkflags>"/NODEFAULTLIB:libcd" inside a template
definition it ends up on the commandline like \NODEFAULTLIB:libcd - this is
a problem beacause now the linker thinks it's a library ("\/" does not
help). (This is for vc7 with buildsystem v1.)

And secondly - is there a way to create a rule that calls a source generator
- say gsoap - to create a file soapClient.cpp on which a target dependends:

#the jamfile:

gsoap bla.hpp ; #bla.hpp has defs the soap compiler understands

exe cl : <template>executable cl.cpp soapClient.cpp <lib>soap ;

#the rule somewhere in a included my.rule.jam:
soapcompiler ?= V:\\gsoap-win32-2.2.3\\soapcpp2.exe ;

rule gsoap ( header )
{
gsoap-action $(header) ;
}

actions gsoap-action
{
$(soapcompiler) $(<)
}

but nothing happens :-(

which confuses me because all html pages I consulted where quite "you can do
this" - and creating a generator is one off I feel (I do not understand it
and there's no vc7 - yet - in v2.)

Thnx in advance

Dirk Griffioen
