Thanks a lot, it works with a small modification of the code above,
i just added those lines.
$(p).mark-target-as-explicit $(install-name)-exe ;
$(p).mark-target-as-explicit $(install-name)-bin ;
$(p).mark-target-as-explicit $(install-name)-lib ;

I looked inside project.jam and i saw similar code in the rule explicit
but it is within a module named "project-rules".  Is it possible call the
explicit function directly ?

Thanks a lot again,
