Re: [cpp-netlib-devel] Bjam woes

[Andreas H. <an...@ib...>]

In your Jamfile.v2 you should reference $(BOOST_ROOT)


I'll copy/paste my Jamfile.v2 that I use for my little DNS library here.


------


import os ;
local BOOST_ROOT = [ os.environ BOOST_ROOT ] ;

if [ os.name ] = SOLARIS
{
lib socket ;
lib nsl ;
}
else if [ os.name ] = NT
{
lib ws2_32 ;
lib mswsock ;
}

project : requirements
<include>../../../
<include>$(BOOST_ROOT)
<define>BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1
<library>$(BOOST_ROOT)/libs/system/build//boost_system
<library>$(BOOST_ROOT)/libs/thread/build//boost_thread
<threading>multi
<link>static
<os>SOLARIS:<library>socket
<os>SOLARIS:<library>nsl
<os>NT,<toolset>gcc:<library>ws2_32
<os>NT,<toolset>gcc:<library>mswsock
;

exe dns_simple : dns_simple.cpp dns_util.cpp ;


----


This Jamfile lives in a directory 3 levels away from the .hpp files that
I need.

You'll also need the infamous project-root.jam at the base of your
directory that you are writing in.
