Re: [Boost-build] Output directory as bjam variable?

From: John Reid (j.reid_at_[hidden])

I have a custom generator that places C headers in the output directory. 
Other sources that are built in the same main target as the sources for 
the custom generator find these when they are #include'd. I have trouble 
getting source files in other main targets to include them though.

What I'm trying to say is that I think I need similar functionality as 
Noel does and I can't find it in the docs...

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
John.
