Re: [jamboost] Jamboost v2: toolset variable

The CVS version I use is the snapshot from
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/boost-cvsroot.tar, not a cvs
update command because we want to have boost in our local CVS as a
project for the filesystem lib.

So I read again the doc and I found the topic concerning the
user-config. jam but I expected to find this information at the
beginning of the document (within the hello world paragraph)...

I set up my own project "pingpong" which uses MPI libs. I want bins to
be created under ~/cvstop/DO/
I must be as generic as possible on pathes, so I have a .profile with
these lines, for every project to build:
export BOOST_TOP=~/cvstop/boost
export PINGPONG_TOP=~/cvstop/pingpong

I also decided to put all the variables depending on the OS libs within
~/cvstop/config.jam as follows:
FFT_MPI_INC_PATH ?= /opt/mpich-1.2.5.2/include/ ;
FFT_MPI_LIB_PATH ?= /opt/mpich-1.2.5.2/lib/ ;
FFT_MPI_LIBS ?= mpich pmpich ;

Then under the ~/cvstop/pingpong/ folder I created a boost-build.jam
with this line:
boost-build $(BOOST_TOP)/tools/build/v2 ;

and an empty project-root.jam file. I created the Jamfile from v1 to
this:

project pingpong
: include $(PROJECT_ROOT)/../config.jam ;
: build-dir ?= $(PROJECT_ROOT)/../DO
;
     
exe pingpong
: pingpong.c
: <include>$(FFT_MPI_INC_PATH)
: <library>$(FFT_MPI_LIB_PATH)/libmpich.a
;

This will not work 'cause of the "include $(PROJECT_ROOT)/../config.jam
;" line but again, I didn't find in v2 doc. how to tell bjam to read a
file containing my variables (config.jam) before compiling.
