Re: [Boost-build] How to build same project under linux and windows?

You can use "bjam debug release" to kick off the build of both variants with
one command. Normally, all four of your libraries would have the same target
name "libnatlib". You'll want one name for your library when you get around
to writing a test or exe that depends on it. Add "<target-os>windows" to the
"requirements" section (which follows the second ':') for the windows
builds, so that bjam can figure out which alternative fits which OS.
