Hi, thanks for your answer. On Sun, Aug 14, 2011 at 9:01 AM, John Maddock <boost.regex@virgin.net>wrote:
First, I issued the following bcp command to copy the required libraries

find /path/to/my/app | xargs {} bcp --scan {} /boost_minimal
As Voorhees said, no building script is copied.
By default bcp copies source files, but not Boost.Build, you can get Boost.Build as well with a:
bcp build /boost_minimal
Unfortunately, someone has added a new vital build file (boostcpp) to root which doesn't get copied.... I'll fix that in bcp.
This command also does not copy bootstrap.*. Am I missing another command?
In my case, I manually
copied all files at the root of the original directory and the tools directory. Then I ran
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/some/dir ./bjam ./bjam install
It generated headers in /some/dir/include, but no libraries in /some/dir/lib, which would happen if I did this on the original boost dir. I guess I'm missing some step when copying the build files to boost_minimal.
Not necessarily: is there actually anything for it to build? Remember a lot of Boost is header only - which libraries are you missing?
I think so, bcp copied filesystem, regex, python and thread. Actually, I was using --boost=<path to boost include/libs>. Changing it to --boost=<path to boost sources> made the libs dir to be copied too. But now I'm getting a build error: error: Unable to find file or target named error: '../../filesystem/build//boost_filesystem' error: referred from project at error: 'libs/wave/build' It seems the build script is missing something or did I miss some step? Thanks,
HTH, John. ______________________________**_________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/** mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost<http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost>
