Re: [jamboost] Re: how to reference a library as a dependency in bjam

I've already tried <lib>../layout as a source.
With it bjam errors with:
unknown dependent target <@cycleDetector!..>liblayout.a

This may have everything to do with my Jamrules file.
I have such files in my .. file containing:
project boost : $(BOOST_ROOT) ;

Can you sugguest another solution?
