Hi

If I want to build a target on a different drive letter on Windows NT, the default Jambase does not correctly handle this situation as it places all output directly under ALL_LOCATE_TARGET instead of putting them into subdirectories

Here is an example. I am using the directory T:\niklaus with the following jamfile

FIRST = H:/xrun/bb/make/1_2_x/test ; ALL_LOCATE_TARGET = . ; SubDir FIRST proj1 sub1 ; SubInclude FIRST proj1 sub1 ;

Calling "jam -dx exe" results in <..> gcc -c -o sub_1_2.o -DMINGW -IH:/xrun/bb/make/1_2_x/test\proj1\sub1\sub1_2 H:/xrun/bb/make/1_2_x/test\proj1\sub1\sub1_2\sub_1_2.c gcc -o sub1_2.exe sub_1_2_main.o sub_1_2.o

After setting LOCATE_TARGET in the Jambase in the rule SubDirto LOCATE_TARGET = [ FDirName $(ALL_LOCATE_TARGET) $(SUBDIR_TOKENS) ] ; instead of LOCATE_TARGET = $(ALL_LOCATE_TARGET) $(SUBDIR) ;

I get the desired behaviour, e.g. gcc -c -o proj1\sub1\sub1_1\sub_1_1.o -DMINGW -IH:/xrun/bb/make/1_2_x/test\proj1\sub1\sub1_1 H:/xrun/bb/make/1_2_x/test\proj1\sub1\sub1_1\sub_1_1.c gcc -o proj1\sub1\sub1_1\sub1_1.exe proj1\sub1\sub1_1\sub_1_1_main.o proj1\sub1\sub1_1\sub_1_1.o
