Hi, 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. Regards, Simon Am 12.01.19 um 15:45 schrieb degski via Boost-users:

what is needed to force bjam to build zlib? Is the zlib.h enough?

giving b2 the source [all of it] to zlib like "-sZLIB_SOURCE=%HOME%\zlib-1.2.8" does the trick for me.

You think zlib (source) is not trusted, or you'd rather get it [zlib] from your OS distribution? This all makes no sense. degski -- *“If something cannot go on forever, it will stop" - Herbert Stein*

If you use hunter to build your projects, including the boost package causes zlib, bzip2 and other dependencies to be built for your project automatically. https://github.com/ruslo/hunter/ https://github.com/ruslo/hunter/releases https://github.com/hunter-packages On Sat, 12 Jan 2019 at 17:55, Simon Michalke via Boost-users < boost-users@lists.boost.org> wrote:

Hello,

this works, thank you. However I do not have and do not need the ZLIB_BINARY.

Regards, Simon

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.
