在Windows上配置Boost构建

Question

I'm currently trying to build a subset of the boost libraries on my (Windows) machine. In the Linux world it seems to be possible that the desired libraries can be specified by

bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=lib1,lib2,...libn

I assumed that the Windows version bootstrap.bat would have the same command line options but I was wrong, it did not even react to --help . Is there a way to avoid building the whole project using the bootstrap.bat / bjam.exe / b2.exe approach?

EDIT: Looking into bootstrap.bat revealed that there are no command line options. It seems I have to configure project-config.jam . Currently, there is only one line telling me that it uses the msvc compiler.

Answer 1

assuming (for no reason, I know) you are using VisualStudio 2005 (which is msvc-8.0 ) you can issue the commands

bootstrap
.\bjam toolset=msvc-8.0  --with-filesystem

to compile, eg, filesystem

Hope it helps
