Using this directory structure:

------
<root>
Jamfile.v2
project-root.jam
... etc ...
/bin
/deps
/libs
Jamfile.v2
cppunit.lib
cppunitd.lib (debug)
/libs
/mylib
Jamfile.v2
/tests
Jamfile.v2
main.cpp
---
How do I use deps/libs/cppunit(d).lib? I've managed to create the jamfile in
deps/libs:
lib cppunit
:
: <file>cppunit.lib <variant>release
;
lib cppunit
:
: <file>cppunitd.lib <variant>debug
;
using it from libs/mylib/tests:
-- Jamfile.v2 ---
...
exe mylib_tests
: # sources
$(all_sources)
//mylib
../../../deps/libs//cppunit <= !!!
: # requirements
<include>.
<include>../../../deps/cppunit/include
<library-path>../../../deps/libs
: # default-build
: # usage-requirements
;
..
------------------------
The above works, but I was merely wondering if I could make some global
definition in the top-level Jamfile.v2 to reference the cppunit target
without the path specification (similar to what I do with mylib above).
While I'm at it, a few more related questions:
- Is there a rule available to run the resulting mylib_tests.exe file from
the above Jamfile?
- Can I specify the output directory of the .exe (it depends on a couple of
.dlls located in the bin directory)?
- Can I set the output target name(s) to indicate debug/release version
(e.g. mylib_tests_d.exe, mylib_d.exe)?

Sorry, I'm perhaps a bit slow today, but how would I use that in e.g. the
deps/libs/ Jamfile.v2 from above?
