I just started compiling boost C++ libraries. With the following commands I issued it is building whole of the boost libraries, which is time consuming, and is not necessary for my need.
Just unpacked the boost_1_49_0.7z archive and from Visual Studio 2010 command line tool I ran bootstrap.bat and it created the b2 executable.
Using this executable I ran b2 --toolset=msvc-10.0 --build-type=complete architecture=x86 address-model=64 stage to build the libraries.
At this moment all I need is the "signals" module to be built.
What switch commands need to be supplied to the bootstrap created executable to compile and build only those specific libraries?
b2.exe --help outputs the following.
--show-libraries Displays the list of Boost libraries that require
build and installation steps, then exit.
--with-<library> Build and install the specified <library>
If this option is used, only libraries
specified using this option will be built.
Also is possible to use the -jX option to compile BOOST in X processes in parallel.
