[Boost-build] Multiple boost versions in the same application

Subject: [Boost-build] Multiple boost versions in the same application

Dear all,
At first let me excuse myself if a discussion already exists about same topic: I was not able to search the archives ( http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.lib.boost.build ) found on boost community page (http://www.boost.org/community/groups.html#projects ).

My current problem can be described as follows:
• Main executable is A
• A use B and C libraries
• B library is a COTS software based on boost 1.46.1 • C library is self-maintained and it is based on boost 1.59.0

I would like to build a specific Boost version (and use it in library C) having:
• A different namespace (myBoost::foo instead of boost::foo) • Different macros (MY_BOOST_FOO instead of BOOST_FOO) • Different include directories (<myBoost/bar.hpp> instead of <boost/bar.hpp>)

I tried the following build procedure on win7-64 msvc10 platform, but I was not able to reach my goal on macros and include directories.

cd boost_1_59_0
mkdir namespaceCustomization
call bootstrap.bat
.\b2 tools/bcp
.\dist\bin\bcp --namespace=myBoost "" namespaceCustomization Copy b2.exe namespaceCustomization cd namespaceCustomization mkdir package call boostrap.bat
.\b2 --prefix=package --toolset=msvc-10.0 address-model=64 --build-type=complete install

Did I miss something?

Thanks in advance for any help

Michele
