First, thanks for the answer.
That didn't do it. If I want to build lib B, it tries to build stuff
from B first, then A, then tries to link. But building B fails again
for the 2 reasons. In the first run the generated header isn't there
yet. In the second run, it is there, but the include path isn't right,
as the generated file is stored to qtlibs/A/bin/gcc/debug/form1base.h
:(

Er, tried that, but bjam is complaing about not finding the file.

I've assembled a test case for my example and attached it.

Thanks again,
