[Boost-build] Want to run configure to generate header

Hello,

I have a project that needs to run configure before being built. This should generate the header config.h.
Here's how I tried to solve this:

alias config-header
    : config.h
    ;

make config.h
    :
    : make-configure
    ;

actions make-configure
{
    ./configure
}

lib sbg_fltk
    : config-header
      src/Fl_Double_Window.cxx
      .
      .
      .
    ;

This doesn't run configure though, and Fl_Double_Window.cxx fails to compile.
Any ideas on what I should do?

Thanks in advance!
