Multiple directories question

I'm sure this is a FAQ, but I can't seem to find an
answer... I have  
a project with static libraries and executables, and I'm
having  
trouble having the executables build the libraries.

Specifically, I have a directory myProj, which contains:

Jambase
Jamfile
myLib/
myExec/

Inside myLib, there is myLib.cpp and Jamfile, which
contains:

SubDir TOP myLib ;

Library myLib : myLib.cpp ;

Inside myExec, there is main.cpp and Jamfile, which
contains:

SubDir TOP myExec ;

Main myExec : main.cpp ;
LinkLibraries myExec : myLib ;


When I do the following, I get an error:

cd myExec
jam

don't know how to make myLib.a
<snip>
...skipped myExec for lack of myLib.a...


How do I tell myExec where to find myLib.a, and better yet,
how to  
rebuild it if needed?

Thanks,

Josh

Not at my jam-enabled machine right now so I can't test, but
it seems
like you need to put SubInclude statements in either your
main Jam
file (to build from root dir) or your myExec Jamfile (to
build from
that dir, as in your example)

or, if you want to be able to build from either one, do
something like
what's mentioned here:
