Hi Steven, Rene, Philip,
Thanks to you all!
Yes, I wanted 'static' and it works like a charm, doing exactly what I want.

I found out why it was not working, based on Steven's first email.
If I have

Option 1:

  F1.cpp
    : <define>$(DEFINES) 
        : <link>static
    : <target-os>windows:<source>winfile.cpp  ;

Winfile.cpp is not compiled.

Option 2:
  F1.cpp
    : <define>$(DEFINES) 
    : <target-os>windows:<source>winfile.cpp  
        : <link>static ;

I get a syntax error from bjam.

Option 3:
  F1.cpp
    : <define>$(DEFINES) 
     <target-os>windows:<source>winfile.cpp  
        : <link>static ;

Works correctly!!

I think using a ':' before <target-os> is the problem. Am I right?
Thanks a lot again to all of you.
Anant

Did you really intend <link>static to be in the usage-requirements?
If I remember correctly that isn't allowed.

In Christ,
