Hello,

i have a problem with building a dll that links to a prebuild dll. I have declared following targets in ftdi.jam:

    searched-lib ftddriver   : 
                    :   <name>ftd2xx
                        <include>$(inc_dir)
                        <search>$(lib_dir)
                    :
                    :   <include>$(inc_dir)
                        <search>$(lib_dir)
                    ;

    lib ftdi2cdriver  :   [ path.glob $(location)/ftdi_i2c : *.cpp ]
                            ftddriver
                      :   <include>$(inc_dir)
                          <define>FTCI2C_EXPORTS
                          <define>_USRDLL
                      :   <link>shared
                      :   
                      ;

The command to build is:
bjam --user-config=config.jam /ftdi//ftdi2cdriver link=shared

It prints out that there are some targets but doesn't build anything.
If you remove the ftddriver line in the ftdi2cdriver target it builds the cpp files but fails linking as it is missing the lib file.
Anyone knows what is wrong? I have attached the jam files.

Best regards,

Bernhard
