Hello,

I am developing a C++ application on a Linux (CentOS 6.6) platform with gcc 4.8.2.  I need to build the Boost libraries I’m using (Regex and others) such that the code is compiled with the “–fPIC” (position-independent code) option.  I looked around on the Boost web site and found information about a configure script and something called Boost.Config.  I quickly got overwhelmed.  What do I need to do to have the Boost build system use this flag to build its libraries?  Is it something fairly simple, or do I need to invoke a complicated set of steps?

Thanks,
