[bjam] boost compilation with cxxflags -fPIC
Hi, Please, can anybody tell me how to compile Boost (e.g. 1.43) with the -fPIC as cxxflag: typicially I do ./bootstrap --prefix=$HOME/usr ./bjam ./bjam install There are some threads that give answers but in none of them it is clear exactly what is the command we need to write. I tried with CFLAGS=-fPIC ./bjam ./bjam cxxflags=-fPIC and still the result seems not to use -fPIC Thank you, Alfredo

You don't need to separate invocations. "./bjam install" will just work.

./bjam cxxflags=-fPIC install should work (if you need installing). You can add -n to see the command lines. You can add -a to rebuild everything -- necessary if you have already did a complete build without -fPIC. Note that this flag will only make sense for static builds, since shared libraries are built with -fPIC anyway. - Volodya
