Sorry for being unclear.
What I mean is : in your case (to my understanding), you specify
properties in a jamfile.
But, a jamfile automatically specifies a project. Which means that in
order to specify some properties, you need to automatically create a
project.
For Cross Builder, this is not so. You can specify per-directory
settings, even if that directory is *not part of any project*.
The will simply propagate to their subdirectories/files.
Also, in Cross Builder, there is no project root. Every directory simply
inherits all settings from its parent directories.
Simply imagine this hierarchy:
lib
- examples [1]
- dialogs
- example1 [2]
- example2 [3]
- ...
- controls
- control_example1 [4]
- control_example2 [5]
- ...
- ...
- win32gui
- sources
- ...
[1] here, I set the fact that all examples depend on win32gui. This
automatically applies to subdirectories. Also, I set the fact that all
examples are GUIs (user interface), and various other things.
[2],[3],[4],[5] - I mark these as projects. They inherit the fact the
attributes set at [1].
Best,
John
