Thanks that worked, I understood all but, can you explain the: LINKFLAGS on RunMe = -L $(TOP)/shared ; Below...

<snip...> BTW: I've gotten rid of things that aren't relevant to this particular thing, like the header stuff -- oh, and I've used the -L flag to point to where s.a lives (I didn't bother to make it libs.a...I was feeling lazy :)

<snip...> # Jamfile for test

# Note: Put this first so SubDir will still get set correctly if ! $(S_INCLUDED) { SubInclude TOP shared ; }

SubDir TOP test ;

Main RunMe : main.c ; LINKFLAGS on RunMe = -L $(TOP)/shared ; LinkLibraries RunMe : s ;
