Hello all,
simple question: How do I specify the compiler that will be used to compile boost directly? I would like to provide the whole path.
I have a big CMakeProject that depends on Boost. And boost should be preferably build with the same Compiler.

I don't understand your reason for doing this. As far as I know, bootstrap.sh just builds the b2 executable, which can then invoke any toolset to actually build boost. So, what you bootstrap with is irrelevant to what you actually build boost with
Yes, but not quite. The bootstrap script also generates .jam configs which predefined the detected toolset as default, so it does affect Boost libraries build unless user is aware of such details of the process https://github.com/boostorg/boost/blob/master/bootstrap.sh#L344 Mateusz Loskot, mateusz@loskot.net (Sent from mobile)
