Hi Jurko,

The problem is that i don't create the libraries from a shell : bjam
--with-python stage for example but i link the boost project to my own
library :

# Project Configuration
project
    : build-dir build
    : requirements
        <library>/boost/date_time//boost_date_time
        <library>/boost/thread//boost_thread
        <include>src
        <include>src/config
        <include>src/filesystem
        <include>src/stream
        <include>src/xml
        <include>src/xml/tinyxml
        <include>src/zip
    : usage-requirements
        <include>src
        <include>src/config
        <include>src/filesystem
        <include>src/stream
        <include>src/xml
        <include>src/xml/tinyxml
        <include>src/zip
    : source-location
        src
        src/config
        src/filesystem
        src/stream
        src/xml
        src/xml/tinyxml
        ../extern
    ;

# Library creation rule
klib sys : [ glob *.cpp ]
            zlib.lib
            /core//core
            ;

And so in this example if /boost/date_time//boost_date_time is not built
bjam automatically creates the library but the dll stays in the
msvc/debug/.. folder, i would like to find a way to tell him to move the dll
to a specified directory. I might not be possible this way, if not could
explain to me what can i do sort this out ?
Thanks
Will
