Re: [Boost-build] Create "pseudo library" from collection of objects

Hi,
I currently can do the following:

obj object1 : src/file1.cpp ;
obj object2 : src/file2.cpp ;
obj object3 : src/file3.cpp ;
alias objects : object1 object2 object3 ;

I would like the same thing, but glob all of the files in the src
directory w/o enumerating all of them.
I would like something like this:
obj all_objs : [ glob src/*.cpp ] ;

However, the obj rule seems to only take one source file and create
one object file.
I don't see how I can generate multiple object files from a glob command.
