But these don't seem to be printed... any idea what's wrong with that way of debugging a jamfile?
Try ECHO "source of [$(LIB)_SOURCE]:" $($(LIB)_SOURCE) ; i.e. move the quote. bjam's rules for variable expansion cause your version to produce an empty string when $(LIB)_SOURCE is empty.
Turns out first code worked as well --- branch just wasn't being entered. ECHO seems a pretty good way to debug jamfiles. Using ECHO I discovered that -NO_COMPRESSION=0 actually turns NO_COMPRESSION *on*. So just leaving out all NO_* defines from command line improves things. I did discover that bjam iostreams ... doesn't seem to create the libboost*.lib files... if I tack "stage" onto the end of the command line they *are* created... but everything is built, not just iostreams.... I must admit I find bjam fairly confusing. So adding "stage" caused libboost* files to be created for zlib and bzip2... but now I get linking errors with bzip2. It complains that __thiscall boost::iostreams::detail::bzip2_base::~bzip2_base and several other functions in bzip2_base are not implemented... hm...
