Forcing boost to build zlib
Hello, what is needed to force bjam to build zlib? Is the zlib.h enough? Also is there a way to make bjam fail compiling if I set "NO_ZLIB=0" and it does not find the zlib.h / source? It is really inconvenient that bjam silently switches off zlib without any error or warning why zlib is not being build. My commands are: ./bootstrap.sh --without-libraries=python --prefix=/home/simon/code/cfs/release_mingw_openblas/cfsdeps/boost/install --with-toolset=gcc --without-libraries=context --without-libraries=coroutine target-os=windows architecture=x86 address-model=64 release and ./b2 target-os=windows architecture=x86 address-model=64 release --user-config=user-config.jam toolset=gcc-mingw -s ZLIB_BINARY=\"/home/simon/code/cfs/release_mingw_openblas/lib64/MINGW_X86_64/libzlibstatic.a\" -s ZLIB_INCLUDE=\"/home/simon/code/cfs/release_mingw_openblas/include\" -s NO_ZLIB=0 threading=multi install (this is cross compiling, but I have the same problem building for Linux) Regards, Simon

giving b2 the source [all of it] to zlib like "-sZLIB_SOURCE=%HOME%\zlib-1.2.8" does the trick for me. degski -- *“If something cannot go on forever, it will stop" - Herbert Stein*
Hi, yes, I know that works and I got that working. But do I really need to link the source? Because bjam automatically uses the system header and static lib on Linux. This works just fine. I just want to give bjam the header and static library manually. Regards, Simon Am 12.01.19 um 15:45 schrieb degski via Boost-users:

I use -sZLIB_BINARY= -sZLIB_INCLUDE= -sZLIB_LIBPATH= as in https://gitlab.com/codelibre/ome-cmake-superbuild/blob/master/packages/boost... and it works correctly for me. I've never been a fan of Boost wanting to try to build third-party libraries. Regards, Roger

You think zlib (source) is not trusted, or you'd rather get it [zlib] from your OS distribution? This all makes no sense. degski -- *“If something cannot go on forever, it will stop" - Herbert Stein*
Hello, this works, thank you. However I do not have and do not need the ZLIB_BINARY. Regards, Simon Am 12.01.19 um 16:13 schrieb Roger Leigh via Boost-users:

If you use hunter to build your projects, including the boost package causes zlib, bzip2 and other dependencies to be built for your project automatically. https://github.com/ruslo/hunter/ https://github.com/ruslo/hunter/releases https://github.com/hunter-packages On Sat, 12 Jan 2019 at 17:55, Simon Michalke via Boost-users < boost-users@lists.boost.org> wrote:
