Yes. The easiest way is to create a file named Jamroot in your third-party
project, containing this:

        project whatever ;

    make libwhatever.so : [ glob *.c ] : @invoke-make ;
    actions invoke-make
    {
                make libwhatever.so
    }

Of course, you have to adjust the name of the created file and the list
of sources to taste. The list of sources is only used to decide when
to re-run make.

Does this help?
