Supposing this is meant to enable parallel installs of different versions of boost I think this should be done using the --prefix option to configure, not hardcoded in the Jamfiles. (the static libraries and symlinks for the libs will be overwritten anyway if you attempt to install two versions to the same prefix).
Rene, is this your department? What do you think?
I'm not Rene, but I can maybe offer some insight here. By default, boost builds and installs with --layout=versioned, which will give you headers in ${PREFIX}/boost-x_xx/boost and the boost version number and compiler version embedded in the library names. If you want to have the old-fashioned ${PREFIX}/boost and less decorated library names, just pass --layout=system to bjam. I'm unsure if there's any analogous parameter to ./configure, but most likely not. In my not so humble opinion, I think that using configure/make/make install for boost is extraneous. By the way, what happened to the --build-type=minimal|complete option that the trunk has. Is that due for 1.35.1 or later? -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se | 070-310 47 07
