Thanks. bjam --help describes it well. Probably a case where RTFM would have been an appropriate answer.

I just built boost 1.36 for the mac and all the library names have xgcc40 inserted in the middle, such as libboost_iostreams-xgcc40-mt-1_36.dylib. It breaks my makefiles that contain the option " -lboost_iostreams". Is there a reason for the xgcc40 in this version and not the others, and is there a way to instruct bjam not to include it in the filename.

Pass --layout=system to bjam to prevent the library names from being mangled with the compiler/options/version.

I'm responding to this topic to ask about how to make the LIB files not prefix with "lib". For example, right now I'm running the following command:

bjam --toolset=msvc --build-type=complete --layout=system debug stage

An example of how a library is output is:

libboost_filesystem-mt-gd.lib

I would like the libs to look like:

boost_filesystem-mt-gd.lib

Any idea how I can do this? Also, I need to figure out how to make the boost build process dynamically link against the standard C++ libraries, as right now it is statically linking against them.

I just realized what is going on. It's building both the dynamic and static versions of boost. Not sure how to tell it to build just the dynamic versions.
