yes, I know that works and I got that working. But do I really need to link the source? Because bjam automatically uses the system header and static lib on Linux. This works just fine.

I just want to give bjam the header and static library manually.

I use -sZLIB_BINARY= -sZLIB_INCLUDE= -sZLIB_LIBPATH= as in https://gitlab.com/codelibre/ome-cmake-superbuild/blob/master/packages/boost... and it works correctly for me. I've never been a fan of Boost wanting to try to build third-party libraries. Regards, Roger
