I want to build boost so that it gets installed in a directory other than the one that it is extracted to. I did it once but I can't figure out how I did it. Can anyone help?

I'm assuming you are using Jam? If so, just set ALL_LOCATE_TARGET: jam -sALL_LOCATE_TARGET=/path/to/put/compiled/files/in Doug

Trying it out, I discover that it doesn't work. Header files ( at least are not moved over). I'm expecting something like "make install", alltough it is begining to look a bit optimistic to hope for something like that. If so then it was something to do to make jam the build tool. I've used all sorts of tools over a period greater than 10 years and they've always had "make install" capabilities.

Boost doesn't have that yet. At one point there was a lot of discussion about how best to perform a 'make install' (most of it is just a recursive copy), but I don't believe any actual implementations came of it. Doug
