I'm updating a small C program to take in a options from either environment variables, or a config file and having long heard of boost as a great resource decided to give the program_options module a try. Since the utility is small and I don't have any current plans for other boost functionality it doesn't make sense to include the full BOOST library, so I tried to use bcp to get only the files I'm interested in. I was able to get a subset of boost code that I should be able to use with bcp, however I don't know how to compile the program_options library for linking in my code.
From a bit of googling it looks like bjam is the build tool, but it doesn't seem to be included with the subset of files I have.
How would I go about incorporating boost so that all of the necessary source and associated utilities are included for an end user to build from. I should be able to issue a series of simple commands (looks like ./bootstrap.sh and make) to build and install my library with statically linked in boost. -Will Voorhees
