Hi,

I have a project tree, and I force the entire tree to be built by invoking
the build at the root. I have the following in my Jamroot:

# find all the jam subprojects
JamProjects =
    [ MATCH (.*)/Jamfile : [ glob-tree Jamfile ] ]
    ;

#build-project $(BJamProjects) ;
for local proj in $(JamProjects)
{
    build-project $(proj) ;
}

Building works fine. In addition to a lib or exe rule, most of the
subprojects have an install rule that looks like this:

install stage
    : theLib
    : <location>$(STAGE_SERVER)
;

Running bjam stage in each of the subprojects works as expected, resulting
in a copy of the lib or exe being place in the specified directory. I am
having difficulty getting a root build to have each subproject run the stage
target. Any suggestions as to how I could accomplish this?

Thanks,
Jim Gallagher
