Meindert,

Please clarify what interface and rdbms targets are, i.e. provide rules.

Thanks,

Chris

Hello,

I'm new to bjam and was running to the following "problem" on linux.

lib nedb
:
#        edb.c
        interface
        rdbms
:
        <link>static
        <def-file>interface/nedb.def
;

The above rule should make a nedb.a, but it is not working. The subtargets are also static archives interface.a and rdbms.a.
However if i add a dummy c file to the list of sources, then it works and there is a nedb.a created.

Has someone an idea?

Best regards,
Meindert
