Re: [boost] [gil] Ok to merge new gil's extension to release branch?

What I mean is to set compiler flags like: CFLAGS= -DMAX_WBITS=14 -DMAX_MEM_LEVEL=7

Those flags are zlib specific.

It depends on where you want to specify them.

If you want to specify it in your Jamfile, then:

feature.feature zlib-variant : myzlib : optional propagated composite ; feature.compose <zlib-variant>myzlib : <define>MAX_WBITS=14 <define>MAX_MEM_LEVEL=7 ;

Then use <zlib-variant>myzlib as above.

If you want to specify it in user-config.jam, then use:

uzing zlib : 1.2.5 : <source>... : <define>... ;

My hope is I can define all 3rd party lib stuff in my user-config.jam. At least then I don't have to worry about it anymore. I'll try again tonight. Thanks!
