For header-only libraries you can probably stop after:

$ ./b2 headers

The result is the 'boost' subdirectory with all headers.

I'm trying to install the header-only libraries of boost.

Doing:

$ ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/path/to/prefix

$ ./b2 --prefix=/path/to/prefix headers

generates, as you pointed out, a boost directory in the current directory that contains all

the headers.

At least in my system this does not, however, install anything (there is no boost directory

in /path/to/prefix/include). The directory generated also contains the headers of

non-header-only libraries.

Should I just move this directory to my prefix manually and leave the headers of non-header-only

libraries inside?

Bests,
