This is what I use to build a static version: bjam --layout=versioned --toolset=msvc-9.0 variant=debug threading=multi

Building libraries is obviously *still* causing trouble to many users, especially novices (and me if having a 'senior moment'!). I wonder if Boost Library generation would cause less puzzlement if a collection of the most commonly required *command files* was provided, instead of 'type/paste this command string' documentation? The bjam commands get uncomfortably long for typing in, and don't allow annotation and comments on possible variants. (There might need to be different versions for Linux, Windows and MacOS, but these could be in different directories). I suspect many of these command files are already in use and could easily be contributed? Paul --- Paul A.
