https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1891 <p> If quickbook is built from the source, for invocations of the form </p> <p> boostbook standalone : units.qbk : </p> <blockquote> <p> &lt;dependency&gt;/whatever/ </p> </blockquote> <p> ; </p> <p> The quickbook executable will receive the feature &lt;dependency&gt;/whatever/. Because quickbook is built in a different project from the one that the dependency comes from, the build system cannot find the target. This results in an extremely cryptic error message like: </p> <p> error: Unable to find file or target named error: 'object(file-target)@340' error: referred from project at error: '/C:/Documents and <a class="missing wiki">Settings/Steven/My</a> Documents/boost/tools/quickbook' </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1891 Trac 1.4.3 Steven Watanabe Sat, 03 May 2008 21:06:26 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1891#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1891#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">duplicate</span> </li> </ul> <p> As directed in <a class="ticket" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1891#comment:1" title="Comment 1">the previous comment</a>, closed so ticket <a class="closed ticket" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1584" title="#1584: Bugs: cryptic bbv2 error building quickbook (closed: fixed)">#1584</a> should be used. </p> Ticket
