Hello all,

simple question: How do I specify the compiler that will be used to compile boost directly? I would like to provide the whole path.

Typically, you pass name of recognised/known toolset via command line https://github.com/boostorg/boost/blob/master/bootstrap.sh#L154

But, I doubt/don't know you can pass full path. Instead, you can try to specify the special `cc` toolset and point to your compiler via the CC environment variable:

https://github.com/boostorg/build/blob/develop/src/engine/build.sh#L37-L40

Best regards,

Hello, the second solution seems to be the correct one. Although I get error messages that tell me paths are missing. Guess I will have to provide some more env vars then. I'll figure those out, thank you very much for the help! Regards, Simon
