how to build boost with bzip2 in non-standard location?
Hello, 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! Oliver

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.

It's -sBZIP2_INCLUDE=/path/to/directory (e.g.) In Christ, Steven Watanabe
Now I got /usr/local/bin/ld: /home/csoliver/SAT-Algorithmen/OKplatform/ExternalSources/Installations/Bzip2/4.1.2/1.0.5/lib/libbz2.a(bzlib.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /home/csoliver/SAT-Algorithmen/OKplatform/ExternalSources/Installations/Bzip2/4.1.2/1.0.5/lib/libbz2.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status As far as I understand that (using http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/howtos/index.xml?part=1&chap=3 ), I fixed the bzip2 build, which has in its makefile lines like bzlib.o: bzlib.c $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c bzlib.c which should be bzlib.o: bzlib.c $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -fPIC -c bzlib.c This is due to the AMD 64-bit machine, it seems. Finally, after patching all these .o-file-compilations contributing to libbz2.a, the errors went away, and I got a complete compilation. Puuh. Thanks again.
