[iostreams] building iostreams with zlib support for iphone
I need to build the iostreams library with zlib support for both the iphone and iphone simulator. I already know how to just build the libs for iphone and the simulator, but I'm a windows developer and have little dev experience on mac, let-alone iphone, so I'm a bit bewildered. How do I go about getting zlib support compiled in?

You need to define the environment variable ZLIB_SOURCE or other ZLIB_* variables as described in the installation instructions http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/libs/iostreams/doc/installation.html (note: the instructions say "Boot.Build variables" but that does not work). Cheers, Mikko

Can you clarify what exactly does not work? - Volodya

Hmm... I had hard time a while back trying to get iostreams built with zlib support. Setting ZLIB_SOURCE as a Boost.Build variable did not work (that is, no libboost_zlib produced) but today it does. I've updated the platform (Fedora linux) in between, so cannot say what's different now. Regards, Mikko

How exactly did you set it?

While there was Windows-specific change related to HAS_ZLIB, I don't think anything was changed in Boost.Build on Linux. - Volodya

Cannot recall for sure but I spent quite some time experimenting with different quotation styles: -s"ZLIB_SOURCE=...", -s'ZLIB_SOURCE=...', "-sZLIB_SOURCE=...", etc. Could be that I just missed -sZLIB_SOURCE=... that works (using a bash shell). /Mikko

The iPhone SDK comes with zlib, but it just has the zlib headers and a "libz.dylib" for the library. There doesn't appear to be an import library...just this dylib thing. So, I know what path to specify for ZLIB_INCLUDE, but I'm a bit confused about what to specify for ZLIB_LIBPATH or ZLIB_BINARY.
