Hi,
Please, can anybody tell me how to compile Boost (e.g. 1.43) with the -fPIC as cxxflag:
typicially I do
./bootstrap --prefix=$HOME/usr ./bjam ./bjam install
You don't need to separate invocations. "./bjam install" will just work.
There are some threads that give answers but in none of them it is clear exactly what is the command we need to write.
I tried with
CFLAGS=-fPIC ./bjam ./bjam cxxflags=-fPIC
./bjam cxxflags=-fPIC install should work (if you need installing). You can add -n to see the command lines. You can add -a to rebuild everything -- necessary if you have already did a complete build without -fPIC. Note that this flag will only make sense for static builds, since shared libraries are built with -fPIC anyway. - Volodya
