Re: [jamboost] Implicit Dependency Problem

Thanks for the quick reply. The nightly build I just downloaded does in
fact fix the problem. I have one more small question, though. I have a
problem performing a clean build on a project which specifies <file>
dependencies. The jamfile is set up something like:

lib zlibLib
:
:
<variant>_debug,<toolset>pc:<file>$(pczlibdir)/$(debugdir)/LFP_zlib_d.a

<variant>_release,<toolset>pc:<file>$(pczlibdir)/$(releasedir)/LFP_zlib_r.a
...

exe Foo
: src_list zlibLib
: <variant>_debug
<toolset>ps2:<library-path>$(ps2networkdir)/$(debugdir)
...

Building works just fine, but when I specify clean as the target, if the
file specified in the library does not exists (perhaps has been cleaned
itself) bjam punts, complaining about not being able to find the file. Is
the incorrect syntax, or is there a more appropriate way to tell Foo that it
is dependant on the library file?

Thanks again,
Austin
