I'm looking a way in b2 to generate one static library from list of libraries

//begin code sample

# here is a list of libraries

alias boost_all :

/boost//thread

/boost//serialization

/boost//iostreams

/boost//chrono

/boost//date_time

/boost//exception

/boost//atomic

;

# how to collect them into one big static library when using gcc toolset?

# it will be one file "libboost_all.lib"

# then this file will install

install destination : libboost_all.lib ;

//end code sample

// solution ways:

install destination : boost_all : <install-dependencies>on <install-type>STATIC_LIB ;

actions collect

{

echo "begin collect"

# what to write here?

# file list is dependent on target and features

echo $(<) $(>)

echo "end collect"

}

may be using of gcc archiver can solve problem but I don't know libraries files that and how to invoke it from here
