I am myself not sure how we get absolute paths. I see in the log output a compiler call which has absolute paths. With the example in my original posts a call with absolute path is 'gcc.compile.c++ /home/user/project/sub1/source1.cxx'. I would prefer the call without '/home/user', means 'gcc.compile.c++ project/sub1/source1.cxx'.

In Jamroot we use the following project definition:

project /root
  : build-dir
      $(PATH_BUILD)
  : requirements
      # always turn debug symbols on (also for release build variant)
      <debug-symbols>on
      <runtime-debugging>on
      # turn off optimization (also for release build variant)
      <optimization>off
      # custom warnings level
      <warnings>xyz
      <warnings-as-errors>on
                # enable 32-bit build on native 64-bit platforms
      <address-model>32
      <cflags>-Wa,--32
      # some settings from original Sniff-based build process
      <cxxflags>-pipe
      <cxxflags>-fsjlj-exceptions
      # preprocessor constants from original Sniff-based build process
      <define>OS_SYSV
      <define>OS_LINUX
      <define>OS_LINUX_1_0
      <define>__GLIBC__=2
      <define>_contigous_storage
      # include path for STL implementation
      <include>/usr/local/include/stlport
      # dependency on this Jamroot file
      <dependency>$(PATH_ROOT)/Jamroot
  : default-build
  : usage-requirements
;

Bye
        Frank
