No cmake on my system. With boost_1_44_0 I run a single "build and install" after I've built bjam. The bin.linux* directory where bjam is created will change across architectures, but on x86_64 I use cd tools/jam/src ./build.sh cd ../../../ tools/jam/src/bin.linuxx86_64/bjam --layout=system \ link=shared runtime-link=shared toolset=gcc threading=multi variant=release \ --prefix=/usr install (from their wiki). The only static lib that got installed was /usr/lib/libboost_test_exec_monitor.a which is a mere 2MB and my build and install fit in 500MB. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
