Hi,

I think about half a year ago I updated my Ubuntu distribution and
found myself adding all recursive libraries explicitly to the build
targets. Is there a linker-option that I should set in bjam to make it
automatically include recursive libraries? My Jamfiles became kind of
bloated like below:

lib rumble_cgi
        : [ glob *.cpp : main_cgi.cpp main_test.cpp ]
        /site-config//xml++
        /site-config//xml2
        /site-config//glibmm-2.4
        /site-config//glib-2.0
        /site-config//cgicc
        /site-config//boost_iostreams
        /site-config//boost_system
        /site-config//boost_filesystem
  /libs/mysql//rumble_mysql
  :
  ;

exe rumble.cgi
        : main_cgi.cpp
  /libs/cgi//rumble_cgi
        /site-config//xml++
        /site-config//xml2
        /site-config//glibmm-2.4
        /site-config//glib-2.0
        /site-config//cgicc
        /site-config//boost_iostreams
        /site-config//boost_system
        /site-config//boost_filesystem
  :
        ;

Cheers,
Andrej
