bjam doesn't generate lib file and linking subsequently fails

Dear all,

I'm using bjam to some project outside the boost root.

I have created a library by


#
# Library
#
lib bayesian :  [ glob ../src/*.cpp ] : <link>shared
;

The dll is created just fine, but the stub .lib file is not
created when 
I look in the output directory. Can anyone see what's going
on?

I'm getting the same result for 1.34 and trunk.

Thanks in advance

-Thorsten

Do you have any exported symbols in your project? MS linker
will not
generate a lib file if the dll doesn't export any symbols.

This was exactly the problem. Many thanks. I then got a
linker error 
with boost.test, but it turns out that boost.test does not
support dll's 
on windows.

Thanks
