Why would anyone go to all the trouble?

myjam -sTOOLS=msvc "-sBUILD=release <debug-symbols>on"

works fine for me. This kind of stuff is what Boost.Build is good at.

Oh, whoops! To get a PDB you need to use the <debug-store>database feature as well:

myjam -sTOOLS=msvc "-sBUILD=release <debug-symbols>on <debug- store>database"

Otherwise, <debug-store> defaults to "object", which puts info in the object files(/Z7).

Hmmm ... just tried this, but didn't quite work. I got libboost_threadmon built with .pdb in both release and debug builds, but not libboost_thread. Was the <debug-store> flag introduced after the 1.27.0 release? // Johan
