I am new to boost and have a question on building it from source. I built it once using the command: bjam --with-python-root=/home/rutt/python-2.4 -sPYTHON_VERSION=2.4 --prefix=/home/rutt/boost install So you can see that I at least resolved the optional dependency on Python. I also noticed that it warned me that it could not find the bzip2 or gzip packages (I can't remember which). At the end of the build, it mentioned something about a number of errors it had in building, yet it did install the boost libraries. So it seems that the build process continues on past failures (something like 'make -k'). I guess those "failures" must have been unmet optional dependencies? My intention is to build a fully capable boost library and have zero errors and zero unmet dependencies. Is there some documentation or method to obtain information about all optional dependencies boost can pick up at build time? I would like to install them all, to ensure a clean, zero-error build and know that I have a fully functional boost. Thank you, -- Benjamin Rutt
