Needing help with bbv2 usage

I've got a problem with <library-file> on MSVC
compilers.

In my Jamfile.v2 I have:

lib boost_thread_pthread
     : ## sources ##
         pthread/thread.cpp
         pthread/mutex.cpp
         pthread/condition.cpp
         pthread/exceptions.cpp
         pthread/xtime.cpp
      : ## requirements ##
         <include>"C:/Program
Files/ptw32/Pre-built.2/include"
    
<library-file>"C:/ProgramFiles/ptw32/Pre-built.2
/lib/pthreadVC2.lib"
         <define>BOOST_THREAD_POSIX
	<thrd-api>pthread

However the build fails with:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 
'<plibs/thread/src>C:\Program.obj'

I have been looking into the respective rsp file which
reads:

"bin.v2\libs\thread\build\msvc-7.1\debug\thrd-ap
i-pthread\threading-multi\thread.obj"
"bin.v2\libs\thread\build\msvc-7.1\debug\thrd-ap
i-pthread\threading-multi\mutex.obj"
"bin.v2\libs\thread\build\msvc-7.1\debug\thrd-ap
i-pthread\threading-multi\condition.obj"
"bin.v2\libs\thread\build\msvc-7.1\debug\thrd-ap
i-pthread\threading-multi\exceptions.obj"
"bin.v2\libs\thread\build\msvc-7.1\debug\thrd-ap
i-pthread\threading-multi\xtime.obj"
<plibs/thread/src>C:\Program
Files\ptw32\Pre-built.2\lib\pthreadVC2.lib

The last line obviously beeing wrong.

I am hoping that someone more knowledgeable with boost.build
v2 can tell
me what possibly might be wrong. I am aware that the above
might not be
easily reproducable without checking out the thread_rewrite
branch.

If needed to further diagnose the problem I will try to set
up a
separate project file.

Thank you for help,
Roland

What's <library-file> ?? Is it documented anywhere?

You should be able to link in a prebuilt external library.

Not sure about this. I found it from looking through the
boost Jamfile's.

I thought <file> and <name> were the relevant
features for this. I ask 
because this may tie in with an issue I posted about a week
ago, and to 
which I have got no reply yet...

If I use <library> instead of <library-file>
everything seems
to work as expected.

It was the name beeing used in v1. However since it also
appeared
in v2 toolsets and some graph lib v2  test files I
erreonously
assumed it still beeing valid.

Obviously my assumption was wrong.

Roland
