Re: [Boost-build] Project requirements acting weird

Hi Emil

It's funny you should ask this, but I ran into a similar thing today.

Does the following model your directory structure?

 Jamroot
 |
 +--- Jamfile (1)
       |
       +--- Jamfile (2)
       |
       +--- Jamfile (3)

I found that in order for Jamfile (1) to propagate project requirements to a Jamfile in a subdirectory, it must have build-project statement for the subdirectory, i.e.,

build-project subdir1 ;
build-project subdir2 ;
etc.

Is this relevant to your situation?  Any comments from experts?

Regards,
Mark

I have a Jamfile which defines requirements to disable some msvc warnings 
through  and . Including Jamroot, I have 4 Jamfiles 
relevant to the build request; the one that contains the project with the 
warning-disabling requirements is just below Jamroot.

The problem is that the warnings are not disabled. Yet, if I just move the 
requirements to any of the other 3 Jamfiles, they do get disabled, as they 
should!

Help! :)

Thanks,
Emil
