   Hmm... I have not been able to reproduce the behaviour you describe.

   Here is my exact setup:

   .../src/aaa.cpp
     void f() {}

   .../src/main.cpp
     int main() {}

   .../jamroot.jam
     project another ;
     local location = "C:/Documents and Settings/Jurko/Desktop/III" ;
     lib some_module : [ glob $(location)/src/*.cpp ] : <link>static ;
     project mine ;
     exe my_exe : src/main.cpp /another//some_module ;

   Where '...' represents C:/Documents and Settings/Jurko/Desktop/III.

   Everything also worked fine when I changed the exe line to:

   exe my_exe : src/main.cpp : <source>/another//some_module ;

   Everything also worked fine when I split the two projects into 
separate folders:

   .../src/aaa.cpp
     void f() {}

   .../src/main.cpp
     int main() {}

   .../jamroot.jam
     project mine ;
     use-project another : lib ;
     exe my_exe : src/main.cpp /another//some_module ;

   .../lib/jamfile.jam
     project another ;
     local location = "C:/Documents and Settings/Jurko/Desktop/III" ;
     lib some_module : [ glob $(location)/src/*.cpp ] : <link>static ;

   So where exactly did you see a problem with absolute paths? I can 
blindly add a test like this but what exactly should I be expecting to 
catch?

   Best regards,
