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. Thanks!
It's -sBZIP2_INCLUDE=/path/to/directory (e.g.) In Christ, Steven Watanabe
