aliases for project Ids...

First of all, I wish you an Happy New Year :)

I come back with another question...

I want to to the following thing: If I have files of the project I build 
it, else I do nothing (It means that project has already been build, and 
I just have to retrieve libraries, in my case from perforce)

My_project use all sips libs.
in the jamfile of My_projet I had in project requirements 
<dependency>/interpr//library

#Jamfile ---

build-project TEST/My_project ;

if [ glob SIPS ]
{
#SIPS sources available
#SIPS Executables...
build-project SIPS/Components/ARS ;
build-project SIPS/Components/CRS ;
build-project SIPS/Components/IPRS ;
build-project SIPS/Components/KDS ;
build-project SIPS/Components/sipscore ;
build-project SIPS/Components/TS ;

#SDK Executables...
#build-project SIPS/SDK/C/Wrapper ;
#build-project SIPS/SDK/C++/Wrapper ;

#SIPS Libraries...
#build-project SIPS/Libraries/sips_ag_public ;
use-project /interpr : SIPS/Libraries/interpr ;
use-project /simde : SIPS/Libraries/simde ;
use-project /simde_ex : SIPS/Libraries/simde_ex ;
use-project /sips_ag : SIPS/Libraries/sips_ag ;
use-project /su_base : SIPS/Libraries/su_base ;
use-project /su_cript : SIPS/Libraries/su_cript ;
use-project /su_thread : SIPS/Libraries/su_thread ;
use-project /su_xml : SIPS/Libraries/su_xml ;
use-project /usb_devices : SIPS/Libraries/usb_devices ;
}
else
{
#SIPS sources unavailable,
#so use already build libraries
# Just a p4 sync...
use-project /interpr : $(LIB_ROOT) ;
use-project /simde : $(LIB_ROOT) ;
use-project /simde_ex : $(LIB_ROOT) ;
use-project /sips_ag : $(LIB_ROOT) ;
use-project /su_base : $(LIB_ROOT) ;
use-project /su_cript : $(LIB_ROOT) ;
use-project /su_thread : $(LIB_ROOT) ;
use-project /su_xml : $(LIB_ROOT) ;
use-project /usb_devices : $(LIB_ROOT) ;
}

# Jamfile ---

The Jamfile in $(LIB_ROOT) only contain the following 2 lines:
alias library ;
alias export_headers ;

But I have an error that tell me that project loaded by use-project has 
no project id...

I understand why... but how can I deal with this problem ?
If I had a project Id, in Jamfile of $(LIB_ROOT) I have another error 
that tell me that project Id is redefined....

At the end, what I need, it is just that a project can be defined with 
multiple name... and of course I don't if it is possible, that is why I 
am looking for an alternative to do that.

Thanks in advance
