When I built Boost 1.33.0 for MinGW, I just specified the toolset. As a result I got 28! variants on the set of Boost libraries.
From the various file names, I can figure out most of the variants:
d = debug mt = multi-threaded s = static but there are other variants which aren't as obvious.
It's all explained in http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html#Results.
Rene, I get the impression that 28 variants is a lot more than most people want, at least at first. Maybe we shouldn't build all of them by default, and just supply enough to "get started?" -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
