[Boost-users] [1.35] configuring for 'complete'

bjam has the option --build-type=complete Is it somehow possible (other than manually editing the Makefile) to specify this option when calling configure? (I'm asking because I'd like to script the build of Boost; and so far it only builds in release mode. I'd like to avoid to edit Makefile on any machine I need to build Boost on.) And: when I am using the (non-)multi-threaded boost libs, do I need to #define a variable so that the header-only libs are thread-safe too? Thank you, best regards Christoph
