Hi Volodya,

I replied to your mail with a zip file having the bjam files. I got an ack to it from the mailing list, but I don't see it in the mailing list. So, just enquiring if you received it.

Hi Johan,
What does "[please don't top post]" mean? Please let me know so I won't do it, which I might have unintentionally done.

Thanks a lot,
Anant Rao

Please provide a complete project reproducing the problem -- as zip archive. As it stands, you
have shown definition of 'libParser' metatarget, and is asking why 'libParserProcessor' is
built statically, but the definition of 'libParserProcessor' is nowhere to be seen.
