Re: [Adobe-source-devel] Adobe Source Libraries 1.0.36 Released (corrected: not 1.0.46)

[Mat M. <mm...@ad...>]

I spent a little time rummaging around in the boost build manual for
this, but didn't find an easy change to make this possible. As a
semi-manual approach, you could try:

Change the value of the variable $(TOP) in
adobe_source_libraries/project-root.jam and in
adobe_platform_libraries/project_root.jam to a directory to which
you'd like built_artifacts to be a peer. Also, when building, you can
invoke bjam with --build-directory=/some/path to alter the location of
the boost artifacts. 

I don't have more cycles to spend on the build system for a while, but
if you can figure out a way toset things up so that --build-directory
also affects the ASL artifact location, while keeping the default
location where it is now, I'd be happy to update ASL accordingly.
