Fine, so I need to set the "Boost.Build variables" BZIP2_BINARY, BZIP2_INCLUDE, BZIP2_LIBPATH, BZIP2_SOURCE. Or what is BZIP2_SOURCE? The installation of bzip2 offers only header files and link-libraries (as usual)? Alright, I don't build bzip2 when building boost, and so this likely doesn't apply. However what is a "Boost.Build variable"?? I can't find this concept explained anywhere. Starting with http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html speaks in 5.2.4 about "invoking bjam" (which should be related here), and according to http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/invocation.html there are "options", "properties" and "targets", but no "Boost.Build variables"? Perhaps a property is meant? So my current guess is to use (this I record for others, so that they don't have to search and guess around) when installing boost: bjam --user-config=PATH/bjam_config --prefix=INSTALL_DIR --build-dir=BUILD_DIR install \ --without-python --without-wave BZIP2_BINARY=PATH_TO_bzip2 BZIP2_INCLUDE=PATH_TO_DIRECTORY_WITH_bzlib.h \ BZIP2_LIBPATH=PATH_TO_DIRECTORY_WITH_libbz2.a I'll try that.

I want to build the full boost library, while I don't have bzip2 installed system-wide (but I just downloaded and installed it locally).
It seems to me that http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/tasks/libraries.html should be relevant here for that task, but I find the descriptions too general to understand. I wonder whether somebody could simply tell me the lines to be entered into the bjam-configuration file?
Perhaps
bz2 : : <file> Path_to_libbz2.a ;
But how to specify where to find bzlib.h ?
Isn't it possible to specify the base directory, where then, as, usual include, lib and bin are found?
Thanks in any case!
