Re: [Boost-build] question regarding building with bjam v2

I've found the following line in the output of bjam.

...skipped 
<p..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\serialization\build\msvc-7.1\debug\threading-multi>boost_serialization-vc71-mt-gd-1_34_1.lib 
for lack of 
<p..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\serialization\build\msvc-7.1\debug\threading-multi>basic_iarchive.obj...

It seems that the "<p..> is confusing process_jam_log.  So
either

a) bjam is outputing something it shouldn't
b) process_jam_log isn't handling something it should
c) I'm just missing something.

I could tweak process_jam_log to work around this but if
its a bjam fix, I'd rather the experts look at it.

Thanks for you help.

Well, I made a couple of adjustments and this seems OK now.
Of course I did have some declarations in there for a reason
but maybe some combination was never tests - I'll keep and
eye on it.

That's what I meant to say.  Just to be sure, this means
that user programs built with bjam won't use auto-linking
by default.  I would expect this is OK since most users
which would benefit from autolinking are probably building
their executables with an IDE anyway.
