Dear bjam users,

Insteat of executing

g++ -lcppunit ComplexNumberTest.cpp UnitTest.cpp -o UnitTest

I want to use bjam to compile the unit tests.

All includes and libaries are located in /usr/include and /usr/lib

In the Jamroot file in the test directory
I specified

exe UnitTest :  [ glob *.cpp ];

How to specify the -lcppunit compiler option; that the cpp files should be
linked againt the libccpunit library?

I made several tries with //cppunit <lib> <find-library> etc. etc. but could
not get it compiled.

Thanks
