Hi,

I just tried updating to jam-2.5 and I'm having problems with the SubDir rule now. It is impossible to set a custom TOP path now. With jam 2.4 I did something like this:

Directory Layout: source/Jamfile source/Jamrules source/...several subdirs with Jamfiles...

build/Jamfile

Jamfile in source looks like this: SubDir TOP ;

SubInclude ... ; ... ;

The build/Jamfile looked like this:

TOP = ../source ; include $(TOP)/Jamfile ;

so I was able to build source into another directory easily. However in the jam-2.5 rules, my Jamrules file isn't included when I'm setting the TOP variable :-/

Greetings, Matze
