Hi, I need to prepare a binary distribution of Boost for deploying on company hosts. For this, I need to configure libraries with a prefix of say /usr/local, doing as per documentation ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/some/path where /some/path is the actual path where the libraries and header flles will be installed on the various hosts. To prepare the package to be distributed (the actual packaging system used is irrelevant here, simply assuming a tar.gz would do) I need, however, to "install" everything under some other path, say /path/to/package/content. When using gnu packages, I usually do something like ./configure --prefix=/some/path make make DESTDIR=/path/to/package/content install and then I can prepare and distribute my package. I'm unable to find an analogous procedure for Boost. More exactly, I do not found a way to invoke the install phase of b2 with a different prefix than the one specified to the stage phase through the --prefix options to boostrap.sh I solved the problem in a unsatisfactory way by manually copying the files from both the source and the build directory to the content folder, but I'd really like to have an automated way to do it. Is this possible? If yes, how? And if not, does anyone have a better idea than manual copying? Thanks for the help -- Leo Cacciari Aliae nationes servitutem pati possunt.
