But now I want this example to use for example the Boost.Filesystem library.

What is the proper way to do this on a system like Ubuntu where there
is no Boost root but instead just installed headers and libraries?

Can anyone show a minimal Jamroot that depends on a boost library?

Have a look at the bottom of this post, I think it shows what you're looking for. It's not specific to Ubuntu, but I use it there without any problems.
