Thanks Steve.  However, I am still struggling with how to do this from the command \
line. If I am at the same level as the Jamroot.jam and I want to build the exe for a \
project a few dirs below, I tried this to no avail:

$ Tools/boost-build/bin/bjam.exe debug -l 120 -j8  \
                Verification/Tests/MOD_TEST_mytest.exe
notice: could not find main target Verification/Tests/MOD_TEST_mytest.exe
notice: assuming it is a name of file to create.
don't know how to make <e>Verification/Tests/MOD_TEST_mytest.exe
...found 1 target...
...can't find 1 target...

If I cd down to that dir and do this I get a similar error:

$ ../../../Tools/boost-build/bin/bjam.exe debug -l 120 -j8  MOD_TEST_mytest.exe
notice: could not find main target MOD_TEST_mytest.exe
notice: assuming it is a name of file to create.
don't know how to make <e>MOD_TEST_mytest.exe
...found 1 target...
...can't find 1 target...

My jamfile.jam is:

run MOD_TEST_mytest.c ;

Note that I am overriding the run rule in my Jamroot with:

rule run( ... )
{
   testing.run( ... ) ;
}

Thank,

Chris

Only on Windows.  If you have

run test.cpp ;

You can use bjam test.exe.  This works because
you can specify building a specific file on the
command line.  Unfortunately, the name of the
executable is the same as the name of the main
target, except on Windows.

In Christ,
