What do you mean "configure"? If you're using the "configure" script, then stop,
and invoke bjam directly.

Thanks for your help. I studied Boost-build a bit and the darwin.jam file and came up with a command line for bjam

And it mostly worked with one hitch:

The command: "bjam release debug toolset=darwin threading=multi architecture=combined address-model=32"

works to build both debug and release version of fat-32 (multi-arch i386 and ppc) dynamic libs.

But I cannot seem to get static libs to build.

the command:

"bjam release debug runtime-link=static toolset=darwin threading=multi architecture=combined address-model=32"

results in no build at all as shown in this copy of the shell output:

$bjam release debug runtime-link=static toolset=darwin threading=multi architecture=combined address-model=32

So I am obviously close but still misunderstanding something. Any hints?
