Our "b2 --help" documentation says
--exec-prefix=<EPREFIX> Install architecture dependent files here. Default: <PREFIX>
--libdir=<LIBDIR> Install library files here. Default: <EPREFIX>/lib
and bootstrap.sh also supports --exec-prefix and when given, records it in project-config.jam.
But it doesn't work and has never worked. Only --prefix is honored, --exec-prefix is simply ignored.
I think that we should bring the documentation and the actual behavior in sync, either by making --exec-prefix work as documented, or removing it from the documentation.
Which one should we do? Comments?
If there isn't an open issue in Boost.Build for it, then it probably isn't important enough to implement. - Jim
