Is it possible to do an out-of-source build with bjam?

Question

Due to quota restrictions I really need to build a project that I'm working on with all of the temporary files and build products in a separate directory (in my case /tmp/somewhere).

I'm used to doing this with CMake, is it possible with bjam, if so, how?

Answer 1

Yes you can. In your project declaration you can specify the build-dir location to anything you like instead of the default local bin.v2 location (see projects).
