Re: [Boost-build] How to specify jamfile on the command line?

The problem is that I wanted to configure my editor so that its current 
directory when launching boost-build is different from the directory of the 
jamfile. The first thing I do in my build script is to cd to the directory 
of the jamfile, but then the errors I get are relative to that directory and 
the editor can't find the files. It's a minor thing obviously, I can just 
keep everything in the same directory and it works fine, but if there is an 
easy workaround please lmk.

Thanks,
Emil
