[Boost-users] bjam does not find *.lib file

Subject: [Boost-users] bjam does not find *.lib file
From: Ronny Herzog (herzog_at_[hidden])

Dear all,

I have troubles to compile because bjam does not find a *.lib file which 
I would expect to be there. I am on Windows 7 with Boost 1.50.0 and 
visual studio 10.

It complains:

|LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file
'..\boost-build\additional\msvc-10.0\release\address-model-64\threading-multi\pugixml.lib'|

Which is true, the compiler does not build a pugixml.lib. I don't 
understand why it is not build, since I am building a *.dll.

I would appriciate any help, because I have no clue where I should look 
for the problem.

Thanks a lot,
Ronny

I have the following setup:

|\Jamroot.jam
\*.cpp *.hpp (contains the source of the main program)
\additional\Jamfile.jam
\additional\*.cpp *.hpp (contains a module)|

The Jamfile in \addtional is:

|using msvc ;

# external libs
lib pugixml
     : pugixml.cpp
     ;|

The Jamroot in \ is:

|using msvc ;

use-project boost
   : c:/boost_1_50_0 ;

project spectraImport
     : requirements
         <library>/boost/filesystem//boost_filesystem
         <library>/boost/regex//boost_regex
         <library>/boost/python//boost_python
         # disable autolinking
         <define>BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB

         <link>shared

     : build-dir ../boost-build
     ;

exe spectraImport
     : [ glob *.cpp ] additional//pugixml
     ;

install ../boost-build : spectraImport ;|

I compile with: bjam address-model=64 variant=release -d2 and get the 
following output:

|C:\Users\Duke\my_projects\lipotypexplorer\trunk\c_modules\spectraimport\spectrai
mport>bjam address-model=64 variant=release -d2
