Sorry, the 'alias' line supposed to be a 'lib' line, like

lib boost
:
: 
:
: <include>$(BOOST)
;

But as I read in another thread, include-only libs are not currently supported
in a standard way. 

It's more important to me why I can't put the following lines

lib log4cpp
:
: <file>$(LOG4CPP)/msvc6/log4cpp/Release/log4cpp.lib <variant>release
:
: <library>winsock <library>advapi
;

lib log4cpp
:
: <file>$(LOG4CPP)/msvc6/log4cpp/Debug/log4cpp.lib
<variant>debug
:
: <library>winsock <library>advapi
;

into my main Jamfile (the one which resides in the root of my project)
and how to add dependecies on this lib to a target.

Best Regards,
