How to build a boost dependent project using regular makefiles?

Question

I\'m working on a c++ project, and we recently needed to include a small part of boost in it. The boost part is really minimal (Boost::Python), thus, using bjam to build eve

Answer 1

You can use Boost's bcp utility to extract only the subset of Boost you need. That will minimize your build time & size.

That doesn't answer your question, though. You may want to consider building the Boost.Python libraries separately and checking them directly into your source control system. Then nobody would need to build them.
