I have a need to generate header files which are then subsequently used in a source file and built.
If i have a file called "xxx.y", which is used as an input to a program to generate "xxx.hpp", and "xxx.hpp" is included in "xxx.cpp" I should (I thought) be able to do something like this:
rule Tangle
{
DEPENDS $(<) : $(>) ;
}actions Tangle
{
tanglemyfile $(<) $(>)
}Tangle xxx.hpp : xxx.y ;
CPP_SOURCES = xxx.cpp ;
lib mylib : $(CPP_SOURCES).cpp
: <sysinclude>$(PROJECT_ROOT) <sysinclude>$(BOOST_ROOT)
: debug release
;But when I try all of this in my jamfile, as much as I touch xxx.y, xxx.hpp is never being asked to rebuild. basically the "actions" is never executed.
What's the right way to do this?
Paul.
