I want to build the Boost libs without ICU support in Regex, but have been unable to prevent it from being linked in.
I've run the following commands on a freshly extracted distribution of 1.57: ./bootstrap.sh --without-icu --prefix=/home/rob/workspace/deps/boost/1.57.0/linux/x64/ ./b2 install
The bootstrap stage output includes this, which seems to indicate it's behaving correctly: Unicode/ICU support for Boost.Regex?... disabled.

I know the docs for Boost.Regex specify the bootstrap argument as --disable-icu, however this is rejected as invalid, unlike the argument I provide.
Have I messed up somewhere or is this a bug?
You need to pass --disable-icu to b2. It looks like the bootstrap script doesn't record --without-icu in a way that the regex build understands. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
