How can I get bjam to find my .h files in other di

Question

I'm maintaining this solution in Visual Studio 2008, but I build my deliverables with bjam. The solution includes 3 projects. jamfiles are setup to build 2 versions of the solution (say A and B), and then 32-bit and 64-bit executables for each version.

My problem is that bjam is not finding the .h files for one of the projects in the solution, generating the error below. These .h files are physically located 2 directories up and one down in an "include" folder.

If I copy the .h files to where the project's jamfile is located, the errors go away, and the solution builds perfectly. However, we must keep the .h files in the "include" folder.

My question is, how do I instruct bjam to look for .h files in the "include" folder? Below is the jamfile for the problematic project, and my site-config.jam file

Any hints will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

Try something like this with your first exe rule:

exe TemperatureLog$(suffix)
    : $(sources)
      /sbfsdk//SbfSdk$(suffix)
    : <include>../../include
    : small_x86
    ;

More details can be found here

If that works, then instead of duplicating it for every exe rule, you may be able to move it into the project rule with:

project temperaturelog
    : requirements
      <define>_AFXDLL
      <user-interface>gui
      <include>../../include
    ;

Then it should apply to all rules invoked as part of this project.
