Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #4615: project-config.jam usefulness https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4615 <p> project-config.jam is loaded only in the current directory tree, and acts as the parent project of all Jamroots in your tree. This is very useful. However, since it has no "location" you cannot specify a build-dir in it which limits it's usefulness. </p> <p> I'll include a simple patch which gives project-config.jam a location, and solves this problem. IMHO this is better behavior because project-config.jam is not in BOOST_BUILD_PATH but in your own tree just like Jamfiles and Jamroots. </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4615 Trac 1.4.3 bfreyburger@… Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:26:42 GMT attachment set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4615 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4615 <ul> <li><strong>attachment</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">boost-build-project-config-location.patch</span> </li> </ul> <p> patch </p> Ticket Vladimir Prus Wed, 01 Sep 2010 08:40:26 GMT status changed; resolution set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4615#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4615#comment:1 <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">fixed</span> </li> </ul> <p> (In <a class="changeset" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/changeset/65163" title="Give a location to project-config.jam.
