how to get a different output location for lib and obj files?

[Fadi Beyrouti]

Hello,

Is there a way to dispatch the object files that make up a library to a
differnt output location that the output directory of a library? To make my
point clearer please consider the following WRONG example (but you get the idea)

lib mylib :
    file1.cpp
    file2.cpp
    file3.cpp
   <location>output/lib
   <object-file-location>output/obj ;

Is there some way to achieve that?

Thanks

Not directly, I think. However:

lib a ... ;
lib b ... ;
lib c ... ;

install stage
    :   a b c
    :   <location>./stage
    ;

Then "bjam stage" will copy your libraries to ./stage from your project
root (and even build them first if needed).

I guess that can do the trick :)

Thanks

It is possible to do directly, but you must specify an obj target for
each source file:
obj a : a.cpp : <location>obj-location ;

The install rule will copy them to a different location, but not build
them there to begin with. To build them there, you must use the
<location> feature. But moving the libs instead via install is probably
easier.
