Re: [Boost-build] how to install multiple targets built with genrb?

yes!  using your genrb rule below I can write, in the resource directory 
Jamfile

reslist = [ genrb [ glob *.txt ] ] ;

install dist : $(reslist) :
       <variant>release:<location>$(OUTDIR)/release/res
       <variant>debug:<location>$(OUTDIR)/debug/res;

and the compiled resource files end up where I want them.

I tried something similar by simulating it manually, and it didn't work. 
  I think the trick (after getting the rule to return the paths) is the 
[ ] to make it into a list.

note I was pleasantly surprised to find that spaces in OUTDIR were not a 
problem.

thanks!
